Ruhu's Journal, 30 July 2014

Feeling good again and the sadness over DS's move is subsiding, as the excitement to be seeing him on Fri builds! I'm in travel prep mode -- shipping his stuff so it arrives after he can get into his apartment on Mon & getting the house ready for my departure and my stuff ready to pack.

I remember the first time I moved from my hometown, and will share with DS what I learned with each move, i.e. what it took to be happy again. For me, it meant making friends, and that took reaching out & taking some risks along the way. I also want to remind him of my long-term friendship across the miles with my 2 friends still in Cincy. I'm sure his close friends here will remain so even as their paths diverge.

Today, I'm off to 8:45 spin class, then the packing, shipping & travel prep begins, but first I'll pray --

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

And I'll pray, breathe, log, journal & express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of wonderful you, my family & IRL friends, a better outlook and uplifted mood, seeing DS in 2 days, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Letting our chicks go is one of the hardest parts of being a parent but the joy of seeing them fly solo can't be put into words. I know he will appreciate your wisdom, and he will enjoy your help setting up his first real home. It takes me back, boy does it ever. Happy memories tinged with sadness. Making a new home meant leaving my parents. Sigh. Can I get a rendition of "Memories" from Cats please :)

Glad to read you're feeling good and processing the sadness. I'm the opposite, I suppose. I grew up almost nomadic so each new town offered so many opportunities to reinvent my life. But then I'm not a very well adjusted adult so what do I know, LOL.

I understand your heart is hurting, but your baby is now on a journey into a new adventure that you will be a guiding voice. Celebrate this move and smile, because they are nervous and scared and look to you. Be brave as you too are on a new journey in your life. This is a part of the circle of life and you have done the best to prepare your baby for the real world and this is a needed part of growing up. I feel ya.
