Weighted Down

Sometimes I feel weighted down,
like I'm attached to a millstone,
that's attached to my home,
which sits by a,
millrace.
A millrace,
sounds idyllic,
it is,
except ~>

They have announced they are going to build the high speed bullet train-line
within throwing distance of my home, which we were about to put on the market!!!

We finally decided to sell our property after postponing for a few years because
of other tangles only to find at the last minute the tangles have tightened!!!

Oh boy, that is a millstone. As much as I love the high speed trains (I wish we had them here in the US), living right next to it might not be so much fun. I hope you will still be able to sell your property, but it might be difficult. All the best!

We have bullet train plans set for our valley. It will be right up the center of central California. Bad planning. Lots of eminent domain land grabbing going on, and the expense in beyond reason. To add insult to injury, it is set to replace a perfectly fine normal train line in an area that doesn't connect metropolitan areas. Crazy.
Oh my goodness... That does tangle things up a bit, doesn't it... It's difficult when your home becomes an Albatross around one's neck... We have been wanting to sell our house, but there are too many major repairs that need to be made and we cannot afford them right now. And so it goes... I hope you can find a way to work around it...

You never know what opportunities this may afford you. Lift your chin as high as it will go, this may be a magic millstone that carries you off into a new life that you yearn for x

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese
