Home Sweet Home

I believe that everything happens for a reason.  There are times that you sit back and ask yourself a whole handful of "why" questions.  And in most cases, I have realized that instead of trying to clarify and justify each and every point, I would rather push back in my own mind the infamous question of "why not?!" 

Last week, a number of events took place that made me want to just pack a bag and find some couch to crash on in another country.  I wouldn't say it was a flight response (although it sounds like it), but rather, it was a response of what can I do to figure this strange situation out clearly, rationally, and without added confusion...and the thought I had was...remove myself from that immediate surrounding.  But alas, it is fiscal year end and I cannot afford that time.  So, I delved further into this scenario (hey...look at me...I'm going through it!  Not over it, not under it....oh my....there is the "Going on a bear hunt" lesson again!)

I searched high and low and the conclusion I reached: although I deeply the area I live...I love family/ friends more.  For that reason, I need to make space for the invite of my family to be with me at a home that would accomodate them.

So, here I am, about to move again.  Giving my notice to my landlord of my need to find new digs.  And in this search and discovery, I realized that I finally want to really make a home.  I want a place that is truly mine.  So, while I move to another temporary location, I am now focused on finally purchasing a house of my own.  My goal (as I put it out into the world, the void, to those that will listen), save up and find that place that will be truly MY Home Sweet Home.

I am focused and my goals are becoming clear...and all I can say now is....wait for it...this is Jocelyn determined!
