Whirlwind

I feel like I can breath much easier  now! Its been a CRAZY week - and I'm so relived to be on this side of it now.

A week ago was my birthday, to celebrate someone ran into me in the car and nocked my mirror off the passengers side. It was the ordeal all week - trying to get ahold of the co of the van that hit me - b/c he didn't stop - then w/ the ins co. and just a huge hassle! I just want the mirror fixed, no one was hurt, thankfully there was no other damage to the car itself. I just wanted fixed what was messed up. I'm and honest person, and I'm not going to take advantage of someone, but I felt like thats what this guy was thinking. Anyway - long story short, he - the owner of the van co - said he'd just pay for, considering it's only $250 to get fixed why go through ins? I was able to talk w/ him and get everything squared away. On top of that, I was having to go around and get an estimate on how much it would be - having a car here can be such a pain in the neck! - and did I mention that Mark is out of town this week too? I don't do well w/ things like this. Mark normally takes care of all these type of things. So I was a little stressed out, just wanted to get things settled and resolved. 

Yesterday everything fell into place! *sigh* I can breath now! There were also some other things that I was worrying about and waiting to see how they would pan out, and those things are fine too. All the good news and reassurance that God is really in control showed up yesterday. When I was talking to some friends about it last night, I realized too that the week is almost over, Mark comes home tonight - late tonight, but tonight! - which means that I made it! I did it! I made it through the week w/o Mark and I feel rather accomplished. That was another thing I was worried about, not having any help for 4days, afraid I was going to be crazy come the end of it, and could I really handle it by myself? I did, I'm still sane, and granted its much easier w/ Marks help, but, I can do it when the time called for me to!

Anyway - I wanted to share some encouraging things, and that even though its been a rough week, I made it through. I was even had some great time w/ old friends, and spent some time getting to know new ones. I'm happy here in NYC, I love the life that we are living in this moment, and to see what has come about in the past year encourages me. I'm counting my blessings, and rejoicing in the time @ hand. Life is good, and I am allowing myself to just enjoy it - b/c I am really good and complaining @ what isn't. I am choosing to look @, and acknowledge this time - this good time - in life right this moment!
