Lights, camera....ACTION

So the initial shock and despair that overtook me this week upon hearing the news that my rental assistance was ending is starting to dissipate.l  I spent the entire week with my head buried in the sand, ignoring the problem and ignoring facing my feelings regarding the subject, like if I ignored them they would just magically resolve themselves and be gone when I resurfaced.  Unfortunately that's not how things work and today was my first day actually assessing myself and the situation and accepting it for what it is, how it's made me feel, and yet at the same time regardless of how I feel, what kind of action that I need to get into and steps I need to take in order to use the next 60 days wisely to set myself up for success, not failure, and end up creating some situation where I get to cry victim.
While yes, it is unfair that I am losing my apartment, however, upon talking to a friend in recovery today, they put an entirely different spin/outlook on the whole situation that I would've never even thought of if they had not pointed it out from this vantage point.  You see, originally, I was viewing this as some kind of punishment or karma from God or the Universe by sending ill will or a bad occurrence my way.  But my friend, in response, corrected me and said "This isn't God punishing you.;  It's his way of telling you that you're ready for a new phase in your life and sending you the right circumstances to pass into that phase out of the one you're currently in."
BOOM!!! #mindblown

So I'm slowly coming to terms that come February 1st, yes I will be moving (or, hopefully, taking on a new roommate).  Also, I'm starting to gear up and get ready to take some action and make some moves that need to be done and taken in order for me to take care of myself, my life, my well being, and, ultimately as my friend put it today, "take action to set myself up for success,  not failure."
