“Gloria in excelsis Deo”
Posted By Jean on December 7, 2011
So I know the story needs to be told and it will. There has been many profound experiences that have taken place and really need to be shared with you. Why??? Because that is what I hear all the time; “we need to know who, why, and what brought you to Saugatuck, MI. Really, you want to retire and spend your winters in Michigan? Yes, this winter I do and I will. As to what I am doing here, is getting to know the wonderful person that I am. What I will share with you will be experiences and profound “Reasonings” that have taken place in my life. What I won’t share with you is the past that led me here. Let’s just say this is something, feelings and thoughts that we all go through and in some way I am hoping that by sharing with you, some of Me, you will see Yourself for the Great person that you are and maybe One of you might think, “yeah, I can do that too”. Let’s say it is a journey, come ride with me….the wind is chilly this time of year, but yet warming.
The story will continue with before October 17 to present, Self-willing. As for now, my story for today is a must!
I am in Saugatuck, MI, 49453 with an added 4 digit zip code of 0383, which is actually my post office box. So if you need to send snail mail to me, have at the zip code of 49453-0383, it will get to me.
Now I have been sitting without Internet pretty much of 3 weeks and have actually found that there is a life beyond Internet. Yep, you heard it from Jean, there is. Actually alot of life…so go figure, I have found some of that. I decided to find an uncomfortable spot to sit while on the Internet so that I can CREATE! Yep, use the right side of my brain. It is what I am meant to do.

Today has been a mix of emotions in many ways. I’m not going to spend a lot of time with the emotions, but more of getting “hooked Up”. Yes, uppercase U, for Universe. Comcast is the service of the area of Saugatuck and today I just got my self-install kit from Comcast so that I didn’t have to pay the installation fee of $60. And, yes it was worth it. Let’s say that at 62 years of age it was more of a learning experience and probably the best self-esteem experience that I’ve had in a long time. I can feckin (Irish for…the other word) do this!
I get the huge box from Comcast with the modem in it (which I already told them that I had a modem/router that I was going to use to help cut the costs of modem rental). So I open the box, along with the Zoom Modem/Router w/Wireless-N. To make a very long (3 hour) story short, I couldn’t figure out why I had a cable box with one female input and 2 male ends. Go back to the directions I tell myself and this is what I find; Guia De Inicio Rapido Modem De Cable/Enrutador Con Inalambrico-N. Shit! Why didn’t I take Spanish in high school?? Ta da!!! I look in the Comcast box and my brain sings the “”Gloria in excelsis Deo“” I see a splitter!! Holy….(ghost) what a miraculous idea…split them and add them.

It works!!!
I’m up and running…..got to love technology. However my time here in Saugatuck is for seeing the remarkable person that I AM and for you to find the remarkable person YOU ARE along with sharing our experience.
Love the season and be present for all your upcoming traditions. They will never happen again as they happen this time. Enjoy them.

As you may see by my postings I have been away from this blog for sometime. It is today that I have come to realize that I am wasting space. Wasting of any sort shouldn’t be done. With the flow of time and letting it just be I realize today that I need to start using this space.
