The Loss Adjuster dealing with the insurence claim after our house fire made me think this week. He said that we were a pleasure to deal with so polite and calm. Someone else said to me i seemed very relaxed with all the upheavel and doubt as to when we can get home. I hadn't really thought about it before but i do feel calm. Dont get me wrong, i want to get back in my house like yesterday. I miss my home. But i cant really get down about it. Firstly i've meet a whole heap me wonderful people who live by me who i didn't know before. I've made new friends because of the fire and, strangly enough, been excepted into the community. I've also had 2 less bedrooms to clean! Its a real pain to have all the work done. But it also means at the end of it they will paint 4 of the rooms in my house and the hallway. While we are out me the house i'm going to get the remaining 3 room's painted too. I also plan to put up all the christmas decorations as a welcome home surprise for the family. So when we get back in it will be all clean, tidy, newly decorated and inviting. Perfect for christmas! I guess in this situation i can see many blessings mixed in with the rough. And the kids are all still smiling.
