new roads
08. oct. 08
it seems i've been absent from my blog for awhile. i'm coming back. slowly. this last month my life has been a rollercoaster of events. i celebrated a birthday. i was laid off from work and am unemployed. i realized how strong and wonderful my friends are. an important relationship drifted away and ended. i moved to a new house. my favorite cat of 12 years died. As life tends to be uncontrollable, I find myself head to head with inevitable change again. strangely enough, i've been eerily calm throughout all of this drama.
i'm not going to become scared of change, scared of the unknown. i'm not trying to control everything around me and i know that the solutions already exist. i feel like i've opened a new journal and the pages are brilliantly white, smooth and cool to the touch. it waits silently for my words. now that i'm semi-settled in my quaint new cottage (pics forthcoming, when i can locate my camera), i'm going to spend some time figuring out what path i want to travel down. i remind myself to just breathe. it's a beautiful road.
I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.'"

Hi Kathleen, I just stumbled on your blog and it is very cool. I loved the article on Why Women Should Vote, thank you for that. Also have to say there is some cool art here. I will check back often.
On the recent changes in your life - I commend you for remaining calm. It may look scary but I have noticed that sometimes change like this ends up being a blessing in disquise. Good luck to you, life has a way of sending great suprises.
Kathleen....I'm sorry that you've had so many upsetting things in your life lately, I commend you on your attitude of c'est la vie. I have learned that what Kim in Carlsbad said about changes being blessings in disguise is absolutely true. It's so good to have you posting again. :) Sue
