Just In My Mind

There are so many ideas that come to my mind and all I can do is jot them down. I find myself to be in an unstable space because there’s so many things I would love to do, but sometimes we have to come down from the clouds and be realistic. If you read my previous post, you will read that I got my Accounting degree in June and now I may just go back to school once again and study Computer Science. I have a lot of time on my hands, don’t have a big home to bake like before and so I’m sitting down and thinking of other things I can do in the meantime.

We’ve downsized from five acres to one and from a 3,154 sqft home to 1,843 sqft. It’s only been 5 months and I’m still in shock. I find myself always speaking about buying a bigger home and asking when will we be able to. But I find that I just need to appreciate and be thankful that we have a roof over our head and now we just need to take this time to travel and find our forever home. We are originally from New York (he’s from the LES and I’m from the Bronx) and we lived in Florida, Tennessee, and now North Carolina. If you will like, you can add a state we should check out.

I was going to stay quiet about this but on this next move, I would love if we can build or buy a small chapel with a kitchen to build and give to the community. For a while now, I have just been lost and asking God for guidance. This idea is all I can think about and it puts a smile on my face. I feel part of this has to do with my husband’s job as an insurance broker because he speaks to older people and they sometimes let him know how they feel alone and celebrate holidays on their own since they’re the last living family member or that their children do their own thing and don’t include them. There are veterans who find themselves to be alone as well, and even young people who feel that they are not wanted or loved. We don’t know anyone’s situation and even though there may be a ton of assistance out there, not many know about it and some of these places aren’t genuine. But for those that are, I’m happy that they do the right thing by helping those in need.
