My World is Changing for the Better

Time has finally started moving forward in my world and all is happening as it should. I have been in a state of standing still for the past several months. You might say I have been in a state of limbo, but no more.

I put my house on the market last March, hoping to move to Northern California where I have family. I even knew where I wanted to live; a little house that sits on the back of my sister-in-law’s property, the ocean in front of me and the redwoods out my back door. But it seemed it wasn’t to be. Her tenet decided she would stay there for another year.

Still with hope in my heart I started looking online to find that perfect house where I could write without distractions and be in the serenity of the redwoods in a small town where everyone knows each other. I knew it wouldn’t take long before I would know everyone because those of my family living there already knew everyone, almost everyone anyway.

As the months came and went, I was beginning to wonder if my dream would come to fruition. The weeks seemed to fly by and I was still in Arizona. I was also among those who were struggling to keep what little equity we have in our homes as the market plummeted and the buyers became scarce.

Of course our government wasn’t helping, the parties arguing among themselves, not thinking of “we the people” they just wanted to make sure the other side didn’t get what they wanted. Everything came to a screeching halt as they fought over the budget and couldn’t come to any agreement. At that point no one was looking for a house. It was so bad that my real estate agent went on a vacation, which was much needed due to the stress of sitting around waiting for something to happen. He was very concerned that my house wasn’t selling and many of my friends were confused as to why.

Once the decision was made about the budget, things started moving again, at a snail’s pace. My house has gone from a low asking price to a very, very low price and still it has not sold.  I was past struggling and on to unable to pay my mortgage. Is foreclosure in my future? Well the jury is still out on that one but I am moving on with my life no matter what.

Last week my wonderful best friend, sister-in-law called me to say that her tenet just gave her thirty days notice and if I still wanted to rent the little house, IT WAS MINE. I could hardly contain myself. January first, the day before my birthday, I will be moving into my new home. I am ready, I have sold almost all of my furniture except what I am taking with me and my son is coming to spend Christmas with me.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s we are packing up and hitting the road.

So, my dear readers I will be busy packing and getting ready to start a new saga in my life. It will probably be after the New Year before I post another blog but it will be worth the wait. While you are waiting, you can go to www.smashwords.com/profile/view/deekrull and download my book “Dreams and Vampires” for free. If you would like to order it in print you will be able to get a signed copy of my book by going to www.dreamsandvampires.com and order through pay pal.

I wish you all a wonderful Holiday Season and a New Year to rival any in the past. Things are changing and I know it seems like we are moving into challenging times but that is what makes life interesting and rewarding. We will survive this as we have in the past and if we become a collective of one mind by seeing a positive future that is what will be. The world is not ending it is just going through another change and it is up to us to make that change a productive and prosperous one.  Happy New Year 2012!
