Cathedrals in my Heart

I am so glad March is helping me move (well really march) forward. I had quite the list to check off this year. To go through a drastic change, shift, pivot, whatever you want to call it. It is the biggest conscience challenge of my life. But, first off I am thankful I went through it with open eyes and have not avoided any of my responsibilities as they came up. I have faced dental work, car problems, taxes, and finding a place to live. And, I wanted to accomplish each and every one with grace. Not, only wishing for a good outcome, but getting one. Today on this Monday, I am celebrating that. I am also celebrating I am signing a year lease to be in Ocean Grove for a year. What a relief. Finding somewhere to live in a shore town during the summer is quite an accomplishment. Hopefully, during the year the real estate market will calm down, and I will be able to find a little house to buy. I know what I want, and it is achievable. But, not now because inventory is so low, and demand is very high. And, I could be just as happy renting, and not have all the worries of a home owner. The picture above is where I am going to live. I hope living there will make me as happy, as the thought of living there. My kitchen has a lake and ocean view surrounded by windows. And, this stained glass window makes me SO happy. I pass by many victorians at night with these windows and admire them. I can't believe I will live in a house with one. Stained glass windows are one of those things we take for granted. But, the color and light they bring is a feast for the eyes and spirit. And, talking about a feast for the eyes, the window next me as I am writing, is putting on a natural light show. And, with the sunrising my room is full of a golden glow. I can only imagine what the light will be like as my new apartment faces the south. So, it will change with the colors of the sunrise and sunset. I will have my own little Artist nook under the stained glass window. I can not believe I am looking forward to moving. I hate moving more then anything. But, I am really looking forward to having an unfurnished apartment to decorate and fill with my stuff. I really missed it. But, the place I am in right now was absolutely perfect for me. I only had to bring my clothes and toiletries. It was fully furnished with french decor and a stocked kitchen. But, I ended up missing my dishes. I think my dishes are my favorite pocession. I won't have the need for all of it. But, this year will give me the time to sort through what to hang on to. I had my writing class on Saturday and realize how life is moving in lightening speed. So, I want to focus more on my theme of writing about vinyl records. But, it is hard to do that, when I can't really take the time. I will be moving the whole month of April. So, hopefully I can get back on track and be more focused in my writing, as I get more settled. Quote of the day: "Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise." Maya Angelou Song of the Day: Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Coldplay I turn the music up I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on Maybe the streets alight Maybe the trees are gone I feel my heart start beatin' to my favorite song And all the kids they dance All the kids all night Until Monday mornin' feels another life I turn the music up I'm on a roll this time And heaven is in sight I turn the music up I got my records on From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song Don't want to see another generation drop I'd rather be a comma than a full stop Maybe I'm in the black Maybe I'm on my knees Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes But my heart is beating and my pulses start Cathedrals in my heart As we saw, woah, this light I swear you, emerge blinking into To tell me it's alright As we soar walls Every siren is a symphony And every tear's a waterfall Is a waterfall, oh Is a waterfall, oh-oh-oh Is a, is a waterfall Every tear Is a waterfall, oh-oh-oh So you can hurt Hurt me bad But still I'll raise the flag Ooh It was a wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall A wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall Every tear, every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall
