three things that have happened in the past 30 days -
1. I have survived two natural disasters. On August 23, 2011, a 5.9-magnitude earthquake shook DC (epicenter closer to Richmond VA) during the middle of our work day. Scared a lot of folks who'd never experienced such a thing and led several to believe another terrorist attack was underway. During the last weekend (August 27 - 28, 2011), the entire Eastern Seaboard was hit by Hurricane Irene. No damage to my place, no loss of electricity nor accumulation of water but it was the 'talk of the town.'
2. My ex and I broke up again but not before I begged him to pick me, to take the risk on us, on love, on happiness. Obviously his risk tolerance isn't capable of that choice and I don't fault him. Taking a chance on us would have been life-altering and there is no guarantee that the grass is greener. I have no idea if he misses me or still loves me and I may never find out. The loss of him in my life is more profound than I could have ever imagined.
3. My former roommate, Valerie Schoen, came to visit me and finally got to visit a couple of DC landmarks. I also took her out to Fabbioli Cellars, where I'm a club member. I love sharing Fabbioli with my friends. It's a great little place not too far into VA so I don't feel like I'm in the middle of nowhere. It was fabulous to have her here from a purely selfish perspective and I'm looking forward to having other friends and family come to visit me.
Me today:
Thank you for cheering me on during this 30-Day Challenge!
Love,
Bonnie
