Changes

This morning as I was getting ready to start the day, the light bulb went off in my head. We have lived here for several weeks now adjusting to new surroundings, routines, etc. It dawned on me that I have been sort of living in a daze for awhile with all the new changes. Funny how we can get through each day, but not really being 'there' in mind.  You know, just doing what needs and has to be done.


Ever since we moved in, Ruby, photo above, has wanted to stay in the house. Nothing unusual about that except Ruby is 15 years old and has never once wanted to be in the house. She has been an outside cat all of her life until now. Hmmm, wonder why all of a sudden she wants to be an indoor kitty. On top of that, she uses the kitty boxes like she has been using them all her life. She sleeps with me at night, along with her brother Mr. Smith ( who has always enjoyed being in the house).  He is the orange cat pictured below. No, he doesn't normally look like that. I woke him up when this pic was taken.

Yup, lots of changes.  

Until next time....................

Onward and Upward! To New Beginnings.

Well, life has taken some changes.

After months and months of working with the bank to get a home loan modification, well, they won. Which means it's time to move on. I have been finding temporary homes for the animals until I can find a place that will accept them. And let me tell you, finding a place to rent that will accept them is darned near impossible.

Thank goodness for friends and family.

I have been busy going through stuff to either keep, put in the upcoming yard sale or donate to Goodwill. The house is already beginning to look empty.

Am I angry and depressed about it? Well, irritated with the lender for not working better at it. Depressed? Could be, but I am a positive person so am looking at this situation with a positive outlook.

When one door closes another opens. Maybe this is the universe's way of telling me it is time to move on because bigger and better things are awaiting.

My first priority are the animals. So long as they have places to go to where they will be safe it will make this transition easier.

I will find a place to rent that will accept animals so we can all be together again.

Also my youngest daughter is moving to the dorm at the end of September and have to get her settled.

In the meantime I will be busy dong what needs to be done. I will try to catch up on everyone's blogs when I have a few minutes here and there.

Onwards and upwards! To new beginnings!!

Until next time.................
