The Journey Begins...

So I find myself on the road again... Life has away of changing when we least expect it.  Life among the Navajo was awesome and I will never forget it.  But it appears that door is closing most likely for good for Robby and me.  No this is not the end of our travels and adventures.  Rather a new door is opening that we were not excepting... where and when it will be, we know not, but we trust Him to show us the path that is set out for us on this new journey-task.

New Beginnings...

So I am beginning to homestead in earnest, in part to go along with my natural health course I am doing, and in part to start putting down roots, so to speak, in my area of future work... Problem?  I live in a second story apartment with a small open balcony that is also the walkway to stairs for my 3 neighboring apartments.  I do have a really good picture window in the bedroom, that gets afternoon sun.  My other challenge?  I live in Scottsdale AZ currently...

So, this "Gypsy Gal" is turning over a new leaf, literally.  We were able to make it from Farmington, NM with 3 plants: my husbands catus, my clover, and our mexican heather plants.  I have scouted out a metal shelving system at walmart that should go well in our bedroom where the plants can get sunlight, and I am also hunting for an additional plant light.  I found some awesome AZ made recycled wine bottle planters (refreshglass.com) which also fits in both the bedroom and living room windows, just perfect for herbs. Now the hard part, what to GROW?

Moving..

Stressed,
Nervous,
Excited.

That is how I am feeling right now.  Normal I guess the night before the first part of a big move.  We have a total of 4 trips to make (3 with Midnight the Car, 1 with U-Haul Van).  Why is it always like this?  Of course it never helps that my husband packs his stuff the night before.  I just trust this all gets done quickly, and I can return to normal blogs!  LOL.

Companions missing...

Some thing is missing on the journey, some of those who have journeyed beside...  Not that all of them have passed, but some's journeys have taken out of each others lives.  Bev and I speak not as much.  Deirdrea and I e-mail.  Lynn and I have not spoken in nearly  15 years.  Matt has vanished.  Rayne and I message now and again.  Rebv and I text and talk now and then...  What has happened to the friends of old?  True, I have my beloved, Robby.  But my heart longs for more friends...

 

 Now as we begin  again in this new place... I wonder, shall I be able to connect with anyone?  Friendships do not come by me easy... and I do try...  "Lord, help me find so true friends for this leg of the journey..."
