Sun Dog.....Bitter Sweet & Mean Folk

We have the house....YAHOO! its gorgeous and we feel very happy....even so it doesn't come without its challenges...too many to name right now...including having to wait for the tenants to move out.

I remember a time when moving was as easy as having the electricity and phone turned off...giving the place a good scrub...packing up a few cardboard boxes and moving on........oh that life were that simple now....I think I am definitely wanting to head in that direction from now on.

Bitter Sweet.... Bitter is moving on from our lovely beach...the sunsets and the peace found there....just around the corner. Sweet is that we will be settled and the boy will have a good school to go to......and our view will be the mountains...I wonder what adventures I will find in the Caldera.

I am often baffled at how some people can turn so mean ....when the surface is scratched another beast shows its head...our landlord used to send champagne and flowers ..thanking us for looking after his place...now he is selling has turned into a rather nasty character....it has left us baffled and confused and not a little sad. We will make more happy memories in our new home.

I am trying to learn from the wisdom of Rumi (not the dog)......its hard and I don't think I'm doing a very good job. This afternoon I had a gutfull and stood my ground.


“This being human is a guest house.

Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...
Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”
- Rumi (not the dog)
