The Other Side of Change

Gelsemium 'Carolina Jasmine' embracing a birdhouse that my brother installed for me many years ago.
Letting go is hard, but the weathered birdhouse and the vine belong to the birds, bumble bees, and butterflies that show up every spring to enjoy them.

I want to make it to the other side of change. On the other side of change I am in a new home, nesting and making it perfect just for me - not for some potential buyer. On the other side of change I am done with inspections, repairs, and strangers walking through my home at a moment's notice. On the other side of change, I have lots of cash to pad my bank account and fund new dreams. On the other side of change I don't have to vacuum everyday. If I want to leave my bed unmade I can. I can sleep as late as I want, and then sit around all Saturday morning drinking coffee. I can leave my shoes by the door or track mud through the house. Melvin and Rudy can relax and enjoy their old age with long, uninterrupted naps. On the other side of change I can create a new garden. I can meet my new neighbors. On the other side of change I can look forward and make new memories. I can't wait to make it to the other side of change.

And Now We Wait

Melvin and I are done with the house. Now we just have to keep it neat and clean and wait for a buyer. It should hit the MLS today I hope. It's been shown a few times already but hopefully will pick up once it hits the MLS. I'm starting to think about rental properties.

It was great to be back at my 7am workout this morning with Erica and Mike. And Meeks joined us too. I should be able to keep on track with 7am now, I think. I'm also trying to get my diet back on track. I need to do a little planning and grocery shopping. I'm not doing any cooking since I have the kitchen perfectly clean and don't want to mess it up. But I don't cook that much anyway, so it won't be too difficult for me to manage.

TIME!
