You’re supposed to forgive and forget.
If you asked most people, you do the hard work of forgiving to get rewarded with peace of mind. Forgiving them makes you a better person, helps set you free, yada yada.
I stopped fighting with the blasted wool that kept shredding under my twitchy fingers, throwing my current therapy project away from me with disgust. Counting stitches this morning to finish the crocheted afghan I’d promised my sister Rose had proved impossible. Normally, I enjoyed applying the skill my grandmother had taught me as a child, finding it relaxing. Not today.
What was going on across the street?
I lived in a small cul-de-sac of only a handful of homes, a much-coveted location with great neighbors and an even better view. I’d bought Riverbend, my dream home, when I first made it big in the gaming software industry. The spacious lot and acres of riverfront were hard to come by in a city, even a small city, a relic of another age when elegance won out over greed.
Riverbend was my sanctuary, especially since I’d become a single divorced woman living alone. The manor-style limestone house was so huge even the helpful real estate agent had tried to talk me out of buying it, what with its six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a swimming pool. Most people would think it far too large, but I loved it. One day every bedroom would be filled, they could mark my words. I’d been trying to get my sister Rose to move in with her children, but so far, no dice.
A ping on my cell phone riveted my attention away from the worry about the new neighbors and Rose’s situation, but spotting the number of my ex made me groan out loud.
Brad Bennett: Decided to take Andy on vaycay so you’re off the hook. :-)
The happy face added at the end of the text was too much and I had to bite back the tears. The bastard. I had been counting on two weeks alone with my furry baby. The border cross collie had stolen my heart during our short-lived marriage. I missed Andy’s presence in my life more than my ex, ten to one.
January and her husband live in rural Canada on peaceful acreage where a variety of wildlife comes to visit regularly and expect to be fed and paid attention to.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning, January Bain here! Thanks so much for hosting my book on your great blog! I'll check back later if anyone has a question? Thanks and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat summer activities do you do to recharge your creative energy?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question. I think it just being summer is the best part! No heavy winter clothes or biting wind! I still write 7 days a week, that never changes, summer, fall, spring or winter. But watching the fawns frolicking in the yard and the humming birds at our feeder feeds a lot of my creative energy. Nature's addictive! Hugs, January
