Generosity
I continued to be so pleased with others’ generosity, in regards to the house, that I am unsure what to do. I bet I seem really awkward and ungrateful about it all, but as we continue to receive items like a recliner, a bed, a coffee table, etc., definitely items somewhere above “minor” on the spectrum, I am definitely appreciative even if I do not express it well. Which, I guess, I should likely work on, eh?
Gradually, I continue to enjoy tackling the odd project here and there throughout the house. The upstairs toilet no longer continues running post-flush. All the scrap wood and random debris has been out of the office, and instead some organizational accessories added, making it soon truly feel like a beacon of productivity and connection. Little things, like organizing the bathroom stuff and getting items into the dresser, still are tangible enough to provide satisfaction. Myself and Molly have settled into this slightly fun, not-entirely-serious pattern of me getting the right side of everything (bathroom drawers, dresser drawers, driveway, etc.) and her receiving the left, just for consistency’s sake.
And, by the way, from the geeky perspective of a retro gamer and movie lover, my mind continues to be blown by the use of Netflix on the Wii with wi-fi. I can sit down and, on demand, watch movies on a video game console via a wireless web connection. Crazy times we live in, and I am definitely getting far and beyond my $8 a month worth out of the service.
Finally found my basketball! Was in a random place, tucked away inside a footstool thingy that doubles as a chest-like container. Came very close to shootin’ it up outside on a neighbor’s goal. I am sure that initial shoot-around is coming soon. The weather is definitely already permitting.
Speaking of neighbors, one thing I have to love about this neighborhood is the fact that you can, quite literally, walk down the street and notice someone reading their Bible on their doorstep. Awesome.
I am blessed. Really.

you live in a neighborhood where people read their bibles on their front lawns? i’d give anything (just about) to be out of this bible belt called dallas. for awhile, anyway.
: ) to each his own, i suppose.
hello.
hello again, and thank you for your comment at my site. but i guess when i got over here and started reading your first paragraphs, i was wondering (at first) if you had been in those terrible winds that blew through our beloved southland (mississippi, alabama, and such) that left devastation all along their paths. then i realized that maybe i should have been paying more attention, reading a bit further back in your blogs because perhaps that’s not what you mean at all, getting things all reorganized.
so i shall read back, and i’m a night owl – so if you see me going through your back posts late one night, please don’t think i’m stalking or whatever the current term is for *looking around to see what’s going on here*, heh. i’m just trying to see if a) you’ve moved into a new home; b) you’ve just gotten married and are deciding who gets the left side, right side type-thing; or c) you were truly in a storm and got misplaced and are getting a new table and all.
at any rate, i chose the last part of your blog to respond, so that’s where the bible thing got going, lol.

@be_the_rain - As a creative expressionist, I shan’t ever complain of someone reading my content. Read away.
To answer any confusion, though: I did recently move into a house. I am not -yet- married, but am engaged, and will be married in four months, at which point my fiancé will move into the house. And although we did have some storms last week, including torrential rain and quite the winds, I love in a far-south-suburb of Chicago, and not in an area of displacement. Those families certainly have my sympathy, though, and I am provided with a stark reminder of how truly blessed I am.
I should permit that all the things you agree seems veritable
