Change Happens Chapter Eight: Finding Happiness
With Jeff and his problems far behind her. Robin seeks happiness elsewhere.
Lacey had brought a lot of me out. While Fran and I were good friends, Fran didn’t hold anything back verbally. She was still restrained by things she didn’t want to do or people’s thoughts.
Lacey was like a hurricane. She did what she wanted when she wanted and didn’t care about how people felt about her or what she did. Lacey always said it was their problem to deal with and not hers.
The way Lacey approached life made me think twice about mine. I had always done things for other people: my brothers, family, friends, and husband.
When Lacey came to my house, it was like she had met Jeff, which had never happened. There was nothing in the house that screamed or even voiced my thoughts.
“What are you doing?” Ray asked as I had called for a large dumpster to come to the house.
“What does it look like?” I said as I started throwing things into it.
“Jeff’s stuff?” Ray said as he saw me throwing away most of the things that belonged to Jeff.
“Yup,” I said.
“Hi,” Lacey said as she was helping me throw things away.
