Blessings, another first, and big girl stuff.........

So it was time for me to look for another car.....mine has been so good to me.....and so reliable but you know that feeling you get.....when it is time.....and somehow even though it is not the greatest time to buy one, I seemed to have found one that was affordable for me, and will be great for the kids and I.....it is a 2020 Mazda CX-5 with 20,000 miles on it.....some bells and whistles:)......I need to keep an SUV because I need the cargo space for my new life, now even more than ever......I researched that model of car, and it comes with lots of positive feedback.....so I go this weekend, when the kids are with their dad, and take care of the rest of it....I may need to wait a few days as they are waiting on the title.....but once that comes it is a go....and it all fell into place pretty effortlessly..... it is the first car I have bought all by myself.....no input from anywhere.....I did ask a few folks at work what they thought of their Mazda....and they love them......but other than that....it was just me......and it felt good to have all my ducks in a row, and be in charge of all of it......every decision I make financially or otherwise is on my own now.....deciding whether it is for me.....and this desire to make this happen, and the knowing that it needed to, came very clearly to me, so I was trusting it.....and as I said the pieces falling together as they did were an indication I was correct.......that getting this is in alignment with my journey and where I am headed, quite literally lol;-) ........but this was another first on the books.....My point is that this independent action and execution of it all felt really good......powerful......taking a desire full circle.....and having the means to make it happen......being the steward of my own life........and the truth is I feel endlessly grateful that I am in the position I am as a single mom, and have my career and income behind me to support my kids.....and am grateful for child support, and help with Madeline's school too from her dad......we split her tuition......life is expensive these days.....as we all know......and I never take for granted being able to live and support myself and my kids comfortably......not ever.......not for one single second......so I am appreciative of this blessing....truly......and ready to have new adventures and road trips in our new ride! :) Happy Friday! Enjoy this amazing weekend, the weather looks perfect:)
