Moving forward

My friends, my life has been a hell of a ride the past 6 months or so.  Lies, betrayal, the whole nine yards. It's been a long ride on the biggest emotional roller coaster at the CrazyLand theme park.

I hate roller coasters.  I didn't buy a ticket for this one.  And life is much too short to put up with things that offend you.

So I got off the roller coaster.  And for the first time EVER, I'm living alone.

 I just moved last Thursday, and had a busy work weekend without too much time available for unpacking.  However, things are shaping up nicely.

My new house is only about 1 mile away from the old one.  I've lived in this neighborhood for a long time, and I like it.  It's also convenient for work, and a lot of my friends and family are nearby.

One thing about living alone:  you get to decorate however you want.  So in this house, quilts are everywhere.

It feels like home already!

Also for the first time:  I have a dedicated sewing room!  It will take a little time to get everything arranged, but it's going to be great once I get it all set up.

There's a lot of fabric to be folded and shelved!












This will undoubtedly be the start of a life changing journey for me, one that I never anticipated, but it's here nonetheless.  I'll be 50 years old in a couple of months, and I now have an opportunity to completely reinvent myself and my life.  I'm excited and terrified at the same time.  The future that I thought was waiting for me has disappeared, to be replaced by something unknown.  However, I know these facts:  I'm stronger than I thought I was.  And I have amazing friends and family to share the journey with me.
