Change in the wind

My life has a habit of turning upside down periodically. I feel like I’ve led several different lives in these almost-sixty years, and I’m about to enter another one. It’s scary-exciting, but mostly exciting.

One son is moving here with his wife from two thousand miles away. The other son is moving two thousand miles away. And today, I decided to move too–not far, just fifty miles, but it’s a world away in terms of lifestyle: clean air, nature, quiet, solitude, and time–time to focus on healing. It’s a life that I’ve dreamed of for many years, but didn’t allow myself to believe was possible. Now it’s possible.

Everything is about to change.

    The move sounds fantastic! And it’s strange the degree to which making big decisions like that seem to open the door to many other changes.

    Thanks, I’m really excited about it. There’s lots to do before I’m ready to make the move. Gotta wait for son #2 to move out first, for one thing. He’s expecting to do that in a month or two. Meanwhile, I need to do some serious decluttering around here, because I certainly don’t want to carry most of this crap into my new, zen way of life.

    whoa — your news is much more exciting than mine. And isn’t it amazing how change sort of swirls up around us and rearranges everything? Good luck to you! And take a peek at my new kitties!

About this blog

I'm not really famous. In case you were wondering. But I tried. I once believed that fame makes you real - a perversion of "The Velveteen Rabbit" theme that love makes you real. Guess I equated fame with love. Sad. You can read more about that here.
