I’ve taken the first step. Writing has been calling me back for some time now, but life has been fickle in giving me gaps of time to do so. I have no clue where I’m going with this particular post, other than to prove I can delve back in.
The past year has been filled with change, uncertainty, moving forward, and sideways. My body and mind feel out of rhythm. I’m hoping the kinship writing and I share will bring me back right.
We sold our house over a year ago. I’ve missed it only in bits here and there. I more so miss having a spot on earth that the world knows where to send mail. It’s interesting how a mailbox makes one feel rooted. We’ve lived primarily in a hotel, which I dubbed our hometel. But the past few months we have traveled back and forth between the hometel and our kids’ homes in North Carolina. I was taking care of our grandsons while in VA a few days a week, thus our reason for keeping one foot still there. Yesterday the need for me to be there ended. So this marks another important step in our transition. We continue to re-calibrate life and home, until we find what will suit our new chapter.
I’m hoping that chapter includes more of my musings to be placed here. But, just as I have moved through the last year of uncertainty, for now I’ll dip my toe in and see if suits me. Like life, it currently feels wildly beyond tepid.
I have stayed on task, trying to sort life out these past twelve months. Puddle play has existed in terms of time with my grandsons and a bit of travel. But, a dive into words is what my soul needs now.

Thanks! I’m back in such a sporadic way, but trying nonetheless. Always good to see you, here, there, or anywhere.

Hey DeeDee,
I can really relate to your situation now more then ever. I have been following along sort of with what has been going on and have wondered how you are doing both physically (as I know you suffer from Fibro) and emotionally. I know this year has been hard and I feel for you.
We recently sold our house as well. My husband worked at a mine that closed down. The mine is what supposed the town and there really was nothing else there for miles. Aside from beautiful scenery there was nothing keeping us there, besides I wanted to be somewhere where I might be able to get design work. We thought it would take a while to sell our house because there was nothing there to support a family, but it sold in a day and half and we had to move. We are now living with my father-in-law who is 92 in a teeny tiny house that is like stepping back into 1970. We donât know where we are going to end up or how long it will take but I am thankful to have a place to stay for now and I donât have to worry too much. I too miss my house and my bed and my kitchen, but I will have something again that I can make my own and you will too. Keep your chin up, things will work out. Just do what you can do and work the steps is what I keep saying and something has got to happen.
Your friend
Beckie
Thank You
Beckie Egerton
