I received a comment on my last entry: “Hope this finds you well.... I read your post and thought of the quote ‘Jump and the net will appear’.... so how was the net?” It’s not the first time I’ve heard this, and in fact, I have carried that statement around with me for years. It was that belief which propelled me toward a change.
So, the net. What does it look like?
A small, quaint, rental appeared without much search or struggle. In fact, the owner of the cottage told me he had chosen us and did my son (the deciding factor) like the place? There was some money in the bank from selling my house to keep us afloat, even given the compromise in the selling price. I paid off loans and medical bills, and still had enough to live on frugally when GoodSage wasn’t paying its owners. I’ve done some freelance but mostly taken time to adapt to a new life in a new place. I now sport short, silver hair (low maintenance) — a gift from my mother’s genetic pool. I drive an old, reliable Lexus that is paid off. I go to the gym, to my shop, and occasionally into San Francisco to see friends. I go to movies alone or with Cheney and occasionally I go out for dinner or wine with friends. Life is easy and simple at this point. And I am aware that it is evolving into something new I cannot yet see.
