A year ago I was wondering if I should move to the DC area, what I would find when I got here, what I was going to do once healed from all the surgeries, and what if any was my purpose for uprooting us from Southern CA to Northern VA area?
The answers go like this: I did move to the DC/Northern VA area, received over 55" of snow (remember I asked for weather), we shoveled our way out, found that I do enjoy the "changing of the seasons", had a horribly hot/humid summer, got reconnected with my cousins and their families, got a contract job which helped me identify once again that accounting is no longer my strong suit but organizational skills I got! Just settling into laying out where the holiday decorations are going only to be told that I have to move out of here and to somewhere else by December 1, not even a real Christmas here! Do I know where that is yet? Closing in but not quite there, so have two to pass by Craig today and figured out that in 4 weeks I need to be moving out of here so that we can have some semblance of order for Thanksgiving. I don't have the purpose yet as I haven't had time to sink in here and now it looks like I will settling in somewhere else.
I do enjoy being close by Kevin and his ability to visit when he wants or has to do his laundry. I do enjoy having Robin and Mike and the twins close by, kids grow up so fast, they need the older generations around them. I do enjoy the seasons no matter if they are severe or mild. I don't really enjoy having to make new friends as you get older it is harder to have that immediate connection with them, you know school age children and/or church activities. We are still looking for the church home but now that will wait until we get settled where ever the new "home" is to be.
That's all just wanted a few moments to vent, it helps the pressure cooker let off a little steam! My faith is in He who walks among us and guides us every day, His small voice is hard to hear but if you strain you will hear it just like I do. "Go forward"!
Hugs, Deb
Good luck Deb. Hopefully you will be moved in by the time Thanksgiving comes along. And who knows, this may be the best thing to happen to you and the family. Haven't seen Brian in a year. Hope all is well with him as well.
