Living reactive instead of proactive - changing that!

I feel like I'm getting a lot of the issues settled that have popped up into my life lately.

The tooth I broke is now sporting a nice new crown. The reason they call it a crown is because they are every bit as costly as a jewel studded crown

The car with the blown engine has been replace with a new car. I think L will be happy with the car. We wrapped up the car sale just in time to meet new friends for lunch. It is a couple from Columbus that we met through mutual friends. I really enjoyed getting to know them. They are people who truly value self growth. Gawd, I do love people like that!!

As soon as lunch was over we went to where our poor broken car was setting and got all of L's "stuff" out of it. Came home, took a quick nap, then headed over to spend a few hours with the grandkids. On the way there I found out that my best friend's mother had passed. This was not a horrible thing. She was very much ready to go and the family had come to terms with the situation. While she will be greatly missed, the family is choosing to celebrate her life rather than her death. She was the only person that I ever allowed myself to see as a potential "second mom". She was a very cool fun lady that I feel very blessed to have crossed my path.

After plying the grandkids with ice cream and toppings, playing a game with them and getting lots of hugs I went to my friend's house so she wouldn't be alone. I spent the night and helped her get things ready for the company we knew would be dropping in. At first she said she didn't think people would be stopping by or bringing food. I looked at her like she was crazy. She comes from an Italian family. Of COURSE they were going to be bringing food!!!!

Tomorrow I have a doctor appointment that I am both dreading and looking forward to. I'm looking forward to it because it involves a situation that is actually scaring me a little and I want it handled. I'm dreading it because I don't want them to do what they are going to have to do.

Anyway I feel like problems are being solved. I feel like I've been in a place of having to live my life reactionary instead of being proactive. I feel like when I'm living reactionary that I'm not as empowered. I'm putting out fires instead of building. But, it's okay. The fires are being put out and I can get back to planning productive things.
