Waiting for something

Initially I was waiting to blog, waiting for something big to happen. But as the days went on, and as my internet access diwindled, big events passed and no post were published. My apologies to Sam who came and visited and I wrote nothing. My apologies to my family, whom I visited and posted nothing. But, here I am, finally writing not becuase of a big event, but more becuase things have changed (see below)



That is my first mortgage bill and payment. Yesterday, I sat down at my table, and wrote that check. It's interesting how that made me feel. In practice, it was really the same as writing a rent check, but somehow, after I sealed the envelope and put it in my bag, all the anxiety that I have been feeling went away. Instead, it was replaced with a feeling of accomplishment and relief. It almost made me laugh, writing a check for that much money, should never bring relief!

Anyways, today is the start of new year ... I know I'm a little off from New Year's ... but with a new home and starting school it seems like life is starting to pick up pace, once again.
