What are you waiting for?
So here is my story. I moved to Arizona to start the next chapter in my life. I am really excited to be here, but am a little lost. Not sure what is in store for me. Had a pretty good life in South Carolina, but was never really happy there. Now here I am, no car, no friends, no job (I am disabled) and nothing to do. I know God has a reason he made it possible for me to move here. I just wish I knew what it was. I am going a little stir crazy. Love the peace and quiet, but sometimes we all need a little excitement. I could get a bus pass like a friend recommended, but not sure where the bus routes take you and where to get them. Guess I could call a Taxi and get around that way, but I feel that I might as well stay home, if I am going to be by myself anyway. I just need to learn to be more patient, I guess. Any suggestions are welcome. I am just having a pitty party for myself. Maybe I shouldn't even post this. I think it helps though to get it out. Thanks to all who are taking the time to read this. I will be ok though, so don't you worry about me.
Got this poem in an email today and just wanted to share it with my Fu Friends. I know it's not what a lot of people like to hear, but I think it's worth the time to read it.
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain. Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall, but God's always ready to answer your call. He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips can calm every fear. Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night, but suddenly vanish, by dawn's early light. The Savior is waiting somewhere above to give you His grace and send you His love.
Mermaids and Whales -- Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said:
"THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?"
A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern:
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia and the coral reefs of Polynesia.
Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of psychoanalysts due to identity crisis.. Fish or human?
They don't have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them. Therefore they do not have kids either. Not to mention, who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me; I'd rather be a whale.
P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my grandkids, a good dinner with my husband and a coffee/lunch with my friends.
With time we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy.
Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, Good gosh, look how smart I am.
THIS MADE MY DAY!!!

Ok, not sure where to start, but here it goes. I have been wanting to move to Arizona for quite some time, but something always held me up. I was in a relationship at the time and put the individuals needs before mine, hence his Mom and Dad are elderly and he needed to stay just in case something happened to them, or his job and wanting to stay until he had his retirement, etc. Now we are no longer together and I put off my plans for years and am ready to start a new life. Here is my delema...I have a house full of furniture and belongings that need to be packed and shipped or moved. I have been checking into all options and realized yesterday that no matter which option I choose, it will be too expensive to take my things with me. So I only have a few options left. I can move to AZ without my things, put them in storage or sell them and rent a furnished apartment. I can stay in SC until I save enough money to take the furniture with me. I can keep paying my portion of the rent here, move to AZ and keep my things in the house (I share the house with a roommate). I could really use some suggestions or guidance in this matter. Ultimately what I want is to go to Phoenix as soon as possible and come up with an idea that works best for me. I really could use your help in this matter and will listen to all suggestions you have. Thank you for listening.
