Kinda like my life…
It’s funny how a simple act of kindness can bring such a calm. I complained to “my” maintenance man (aka: my bodyguard) that my neighbors were smoking and it was coming into my unit and making me sick. He said, “Put a rubber gasket on your door”. I thought, “Dang, I hate smokers, I have to buy stuff because of their nasty habit!” Well, maybe it’s cause I’m super sweet, or the youngest person here, or just plain awesome, but I came home today to this… 
My door is now has “bling” like my car! My A/C Room and the Room to my Condo are sealed air tight! 
Thanks Les!
Central Florida had tornado watches all day. I drove home and still hadn’t seen a drop of rain. I turned on the news to hear that the storms were coming. I thought…”It’ll be okay, I ain’t scared of no stinkin’ storm…(scared of spiders, snakes, and the dark – but I ain’t scared of no storm)! Now, being 17 stories up, let me tell you, a slight breeze can sound like a Category 13 (yep, that’s right) hurricane.
I went into my bedroom and saw this…
The next thing I knew, I was on the phone having the following conversation “Chance, get in the bathroom.”
“Hello?”
“No, sorry, Chance come here!”
-Quiet
“How does it look there, should I hide in my bathroom. What’s safer staying up here or going to the ground floor”.
Thankfully by the time I stopped freakin’ out, the storm passed.
This is the calm after the storm. I can honestly say, since having a few pep talks with myself and doing more “me” things, I feel like I’m reaching the calm after the storm. I don’t know what the “calm” will bring, but I am starting to feel like it’s going to be just fine, whatever it is.
Today, I am smiling.
