The Six of Cups. It means joy. Usually revisiting something that we know made us happy. This plays right into what has been going on.

Time moves on, though, and Draco and I are becoming an "older couple". Life is forcing me to accept the onset of my Crone phase, and I'm finally beginning to do it gracefully, but as time moves on, situations, needs and wants change.
Draco and I have not had our own place in something like 3 years now.
We gave up our last place to go stay with my family to try to help out when Mom had her heart attack and then she got sick and we haven't had our own place since.
It's time. Really it's beyond time.
It just so happens that Mini-Me is looking to change her living situation as well. She's had a small, 1 bedroom apartment, fully furnished, right down the road from us, and she's looking at something closer to the heart of town, and closer to her friends. She's been trying to move for about a month now and hasn't been able to pull together the resources to do it. She even has a roommate lined up to help her with the bills. I'm happy for her, but it got me to thinking about the apartment she would be leaving behind.
It is rather small, but Draco is gone most of the week and during that time, it's just Dutchess and I. My body has moved into the Crone phase ahead of the rest of me, and it's harder for me to do extensive housework than it used to be. I don't want a lot that I have to clean.
Also, I'm becoming something of a minimalist. I would rather be surrounded by the things that I love, that bring me joy and make me smile, than to have a ton of stuff I don't care about.
Add to that, I've been having some odd dreams about a cottage-type setting. It was small, cozy, rustic...and honestly, I think with some TLC and the right witch's decorative hand, that little apartment could be awfully close to what I've been dreaming.
I feel that the Goddess and God have spoken to me on this and that this is the right direction to move in, or to at least try.
Because of Mini-Me's financial situation, it may be a little bit tricky, but we intend to try.
Our obligations to L hold us here through the end of the month, but after that, we will be able to do whatever we want to do. We will be focusing the next few weeks on helping Mini-Me prepare for the move as well as trying to prepare ourselves.
I have to say that although it will be an adjustment to be on our own again after all this time, and I will miss L and Little Diva terribly, I am excited and looking forward to this next Phase in life. I will try to be around as much as possible and keep the updates flowing. Wish us luck!

So happy for you, Mama.
ReplyDeleteI know change is hard to accept and deal with. . .
But this sounds like the change you need.
It really is. Change is hard sometimes, but I think we ALL need this. We are still close, and will continue to be, with L and Little Diva, but I think L needs this as well, although I don't think she's aware of that yet.
