Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Ya gotta move, the landlord told me. 30 days notice. I think.."plenty of time". I go into procrastination mode, days pass. The turn of the month approaches. My daughter begins to push me to find a place, it's gonna take time they say. In my mind, I know, it never takes me time. So we finally go out looking. Our task, is for find 3 apartments, one for me, one for each of my kids. So it's "hunt for 3 apartments" day. Wow. That could be alot of work. Well at least I need two. My son can find his own later when he comes back, so I'm looking for 2 for now, and hey, it would be nice if they were nice, so we don't go into culture shock, and close to each other would be good. I can't look at the paper. I've spent so much time on details, these days, I prefer the power of ignorance and trust. So I ignore the paper and trust the flow. I just start driving. We look at some my daughter circled in the paper. It's depressing. Big cement boxes with students and just very uninspiring. Just big cement boxes. No class at all. So I just drive, I drive away from there, just drive. I'm driving, I remember I saw some in the trees- over there. So I go to them. There's a for rent sign. I call the number, the lady answers, and now is a fine time to see the vacant ones. She comes out, and feels like my mother. No problems. Can relate. She shows us two apartments that are right next door to each other. She says that's rare, one is a number that adds up to 7, and the other to 9. They both have their main windows facing south, as is good up here in the North. We can afford them, and we take them. That's it. I take the #9 and she takes the other. We're gonna be right next door to each other. Perfect. It was no trouble. I used no paper, I found really nice one's, lots of trees, old growth all around, nice area, RIGHT by the jogging trail in town, quiet, green, country-ish, perfect. My lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He leads me to green pastures. He fills my cup, til it runeth over. Good happens. I begged a woman to form a family. She didn't. I got so bummed, for year, and it wore me out, andI broke down. Gradually things evolved out of that pain. Now, instead of fearing being alone, I'm moving into my own apartment, for good, empty nester, it's over. They're moving on now. Yay. I'm happy. The pain led to freedom. That's a good thing. It matured my kids, that too is good. It taught me a lot about woman, especially what kind I don't want. And that's good. Pain can be a great teacher, and what's more, facilitator. Amazingly, sometimes us over Jupiterizing protect others fanatics get a break when those others turn and say "you know what, I wanna go it on my own now". The page is turning for me. Anybody else? Anybody else feel, like me, that a shift is occuring after a long stagnation?
