Looking into a future that is now being built

If anyone's been reading my blog, they might assume that I have gone into hiding and am very sad at the turn of things.

It could not have been more different.

I am still in touch with JAR. He has (touchingly!) started to use my native language when he writes to me. Years ago I gave him a tape/book on this but we never did get him to actually use that. He has a flair with languages. He speaks some Spanish (to the housekeeper). He taught himself Italian just cos he visited that country and at one point no English speaking person was around to help him communicate.

I was most surprised to receive an email in my language from him. I replied (in same language).

I hope he keeps that up and maybe get to be an expert on another language.

Home wise, alot of changes have begun. Mom has gotten a contractor to do up the back wing into her new abode. It will be beautiful when its done. But right now the house is dusty and noisy with all the walls being broken down. Brother and SIL and nieces spend more time at mom's house now that its almost theirs.

Me? I have started the slow painful task of cleaning and packing my stuff. I move them in my suitcase. My suitcase is always in my car and I drive up to the condo to deposit its contents whenever I can find the time. Its a backbreaking task but I am enjoying it. I also automatically get to exercise in the process.

The condo needs cleaning but currently I do not have the time for that. Its pack, drive, deposit time for right now.

JAR is doing up the house he bought. I think he is also excited about that.

I am looking forwards to the changes that has started taking place in my life.

Work is going great. Last week I was awarded best presenter in a workshop held at work.

Great feelings both at work, home and life.

I didnt think it could be this good.
