all change

-
The huge change in my domestic circumstances, which began just three short weeks ago has resulted in another house move. My 30th! So the next few days are moving days.

Age 51 and after 35 years, I am starting over...

watch me fly!

    A new journey: good luck to you.

    Hey, FFF.... I .have missed the nitty gritty here, but something awful seems to have happened.....
    I'm so sorry. Life is tough, but you are strong and you will survive this and grow stronger....

    The 'new you' can start at aged 51 or 21 (or 23 as I'm figuring out). It's a scary but exciting time and I look forward to you 'spreading your wings' and reading all about it xx

    "Watch me fly!"

    Oh yes! You WILL fly; the wind will drag you down at times, and you'll search out a branch to rest upon; rains will force you to bow your head, but give you renewed strength when the storm is over; some of your twigs may be broken, but there are plenty of new twigs out there, and you've got plenty of nest building experience...


    You're not gonna just fly...you're going to SOAR!

    Sometimes a new start is exactly what is required. That doesn't make it easier to deal with but it does open up doors that were closed before. All best wishes to you and good luck with the move x

    Best wishes to you. It can be done! (Flying, I mean.) ;^)
    I started completely over at what some would consider a "late date" in my life. But I view it as my life just beginning!!!
    I like the quote, "Angels fly because they take themselves lightly."

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

On my way to work - Monochrome Monday

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
