Today is the one year anniversary of the day I closed on my little house. I’m not big on the whole anniversary thing but the last two houses I bought were a stretch for me and my first places chosen on my own and with an amount of land and I’ve pretty much felt like I’m flying without a net! So to get through the first year has seemed like a big deal to me with these 2 places.
10 days after move in, I closed out my last RV Trip Log with this entry dated 9/23/2006:
We are “settled” - all boxes are unpacked, pictures are hung, belongings are stowed. This is harder and takes longer than I remember! Love this little house more each day - the land is very special. Karl, Bob and I (yep, Bob comes along) walk the perimeter at least twice a day. There is plenty of room for a bit of soccer and chase games also. Lots of things I’d love to do and I look forward to years of doing them! Still - I am always open to opportunity and exploration - so, one day at a time!
In this last year, in the last several months some surprising - to me - changes in priorities - the house, the place - I still love them and enjoy the beauty and the quiet but there are new stories to be told, new adventure to be lived - I find I have no qualms about exploring something new.
I’m ready for the ride of my life - let the new year begin!
