Moving Houses

I have three more days to go before I will be sleeping in a new room. I would be saying goodbye to
 an apartment I called home for the past 8 years. I never realized how long that was until we were asked by the landlady to vacate because her daughter needs the house. It made me think about the past years spent here. There were a lot of difficult times here, but because of this I learned about who I am, friendship, love, and life. I cannot say it had been all that difficult. I actually had been able to buy a lot of things here. Earn a lot, but spend a lot, too. I realized that most endeavors I started were satisfactory. There were heartaches and triumphs which pretty much sums up what life is supposed to be. 

Here's to the next chapter in a new place.

Life Most Complicated

We are moving to a new place because our current landlady needs to use the apartment we have lived in for 8 years. Anyhow, it has not been easy to find a place to rent. After finding one, there are the complications of having all the services like the internet, the cable subscription, and the landline transferred to the new place. There is a charge for all these. Had I known, all these or that we have to move in a month, I should have not signed up for a two year contract for these things....I have to shell out a huge amount to get everything transferred.

Editing and Rewriting

I wonder...Is it just me? Every time, I read some of the stuff I wrote, I end up seeing a mistake or two. I will hit the edit button. I either rewrite or delete a letter or word that should not be there...

I supposed revision is the writer's best friend.

The Only Constant Thing is Change

I must admit; change is difficult. It is often a five-lettered word that can arise fear among those who may even be considered brave. The worst part is most of the time we do not consciously chose to change. It is like a moon in the night slowly sneaking in to the quiet dark room through the crack in the window. It often happens when you have everything figured out. Just when you know it in your blindfolds, the rules change. It shakes you up a bit. 

As I once heard Brenda of my favorite Beverly Hills 90210(1 of course), say the French has a saying - The only Constant Thing is Change, I suppose there is more truth to that than we all care to admit. And to top it all I noticed that things that progress are the ones that deliberately plan or even simply welcome change are the ones that succeed. 

Work always seems to spring something new unto me. There is always innovation, and something has to be learned. There is always something new. We always have to shape up. Learn more. Leave the comfort zones we have establish in our daily routines. The mundane becomes energized because change spices it up. 


I just hope and pray that I have enough strength, wisdom, energy, and determination to do what must be done, to adjust and readjust.
