What have you all been up to while I was away?

February must have been as slow as molasses in January! Guess I didn't miss much, then. Kewl. Glad you came by. Hurry back!

Fate is a concept embraced by those who do not realize that they are the masters of their own destinies. I am not one of them. I had been deliberately ignoring the invitation to worry and stress out about my finances because I know that you only get more of what you put your attention on. Instead I had been relaxing into the feeling well-being... imagining what it would feel like to have a sense of security, and practicing that feeling diligently for days when the knock came on my door. When the lady who owns the store showed me the flyer for the job I was inclined to ignore it because they said that they were looking for people who could lift heavy boxes and be on their feet for long periods of time and that did not appeal to me in the slightest... I have gotten very used to doing whatever I want whenever I want to do it. The only reason that I went ahead and called them was because the feeling of the unfolding situation matched exactly the feeling of security that I had been deliberately cultivating. My intuition was proved right when I called them and the voice at the other end of the line said "We have already hired everybody we need for here in the office, now we are looking for somebody to work out of their own home." Hahahahahahaha, yeah, that'll work!

Well, I am glad you find something you enjoy that could help with the "bills". And yes, it is very amazing how opportunity would leave you a note... maybe it wasn't opportunity, maybe it was fate? Come back whenever you can, drannhh.

Maybe the Himalayas would be a good place for all of us right now. We could have some fun there. Well, hang in there, and I will also, and we'll have many nice discussions in the days, months, and years to come.

I'll see you in the Himalayas, mou.

Abbey, we are in a new place, too! For several weeks I did not have a computer here or a connection but now we are on broadband again. I am away pretty much though. So glad you checked in here. Will you be uploading any photos of your new home?

As soon as we get connected up again to Broadband (hopefully next week), I will be happy to post some pics of my new house, it's so pretty. Why don't you send us one of your new place? I'd love to see your home.

Your wish is my command! Here is a flowering bush from the front yard, with a bit of the latticed carport behind.

Hey, Arkaf, did your mom leave or is she still with you. I do miss my friends.

Hugs back, my friend, and yes, real life does take over sometimes doesn't it. Thanks for finding me!

Oh, no, I will have to learn all the new names. Wow. Nice to hear from you!

Must have been boring because I was away! Heh, heh. I want to hear about the new job, too! Hang in there. Yes, I remember when my hair was long and I first cut it...very traumatic!

I have to hear about this new job!

We are alike there. Glad to see you. I gave up on PL. Are you still there and have they ever paid you anything?

I hope your friend is doing better and that you found a suitable place with no stairs.

Yes, I am holding out for more responses, lol. Well, I was visiting a friend in the hospital and stayed overnight for a week. That was an adventure. Then I went househunting as my friend cannot climb stairs for a while and could not househunt while in the medical facility. I looked at places with no stairs. Both of my condos have stairs so my friend will not be able to visit me at home at present.

Reasonly you always on a trip.. where do you go? and how far is it from home? i really missed your aero garden pictures, if i have money, i wish i can plant those miracle growing...

Yes, I missed myLot when I had to be away. Maybe I will take the laptop on my next trip. Thanks much for coming by.

Great, we'll ease back into circulation together then. Thanks much for being the first to reply here.

Indeed lets, and congratulations to you on what sounds like a brilliant move. Weeks will fly by and months and soon it will be years later and you will look back and remember this fresh start with fondness and probably amazement.

I was the 3rd baby in my family but chose to have none of my own. Your 3rd is indeed big and surprising news. Mmmm, gardening. We have lots of cute wild bunny rabbits at our new place and so all my gardening will be indoors and/or up high:-) That is OK with me as I've never liked dirt gardening. The stuff I grow in water continues to amaze me though. Until last week we were still getting tomatoes from a vine I planted in August of 2008. I kept it in a quart jar and wound the branches around and around, but when I unwound them to measure, the longest section was 25 feet! Here is a photo of some of the little unripe tomatoes that I picked off before tossing the vine:
