This year, so far, has been about things falling apart and new beginnings.    A few weeks ago our one and only work van was totaled and we have been basically unemployed, scrambling to get back in business.   And about 2 weeks ago one of my dear friends, also my next-door-neighbor moved away.  Not just to the other side of town, but to China.

It’s been a struggle, it’s been heartbreaking.  But as I write our new work van is headed home.  From what I hear, it’s a whole lot better than the old one.  And we will be back in business by next week with fresh ideas and a new business plan- we’ve had some time to re-group.  And by next week we will be happy that all of this has happened to give us that fresh start that we so needed.

As for the new neighbor, I’m not sure yet who that will be.  It will never be the same and I feel a little sad every time I look over and see the empty trailer next door.  But it will be ok, maybe it will be a new friend or hopefully just someone who can tolerate my barking Chaos.:)

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you learn to appreciate them when they’re right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself…and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
