Life Is So Good

 

I've had a few things going on in my life which have been difficult to discuss simply because it's personal and also it feels like a fine line to discuss it objectively. 

In less than two weeks I will be receiving an inheritance which will provide a financial cushion for the rest of my life. In the next couple of years that will grow to include an inheritance that will provide for Mollie and her offspring (cats, since she doesn't intend to have children) for the rest of her life. 

There's obviously a sense of relief and joy in knowing that a lifetime of struggle can finally cease. There's a little guilt in receiving a windfall when so many are struggling. And there's a responsibility to make choices that better the lives of those I love as well as my community. 

I've been estranged from my brother for the last year and a half and I reached out. I have a need to connect with someone who is sharing the same experience I am. I'm reluctant with regards to my brother because there are things he believes that I find abhorrent. But I need someone who is navigating the same financial waters that I am.

I realized in my persistence to learn French there's still a part of me that likes new information and new skills. I'm wondering if money is a skill I can learn. 

For the most part I've been navigating pretty well but with the change so close I'm losing my step a little. I'm craving snacks after eliminating snacking from my life. I would rather eat fast food than cook. That old eating disorder if peeking around the corner saying "how d'ya do?"

Still... life is good. At least that's what Hyunjin tells us in the video above. and I might as well believe Hyunjin because ... well, why not?
