We expect it will be smooth sailing from now on; We have slain the dragon and emerged unscathed. Buying a house, packing up and moving, was the last thing on my mind in August, 2008.
September changed all that.
At first I faltered, fell ill, and lay in bed ten days, contemplating my unknown future.
I slept and sweated and wept bitter tears,
Reluctant to relinquish what we had, what we had built up over time;
it took all I had in me to change my outlook and persevere;
But we have succeeded in our quest,
and have found ourselves a new small spot of land
to claim for our own and fill with
trees, nd flowers and plants.
Yes, I think it will be smooth sailing from this day forward.
