Life is Good.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. ~ Maya Angelou

To change one's life: 1. Start immediately, 2. Do it flamboyantly, 3. No exceptions. ~ William James

Lady luck is smiling on me for the first time in a long time. For a while when she situated herself on my shoulder, I thought for sure she had just gotten lost. But sure enough in some areas, she proved her existence to me. This weekend was no exception.

Google man and I have by the virtue of circumstance and interest, decided to share a place to live. This was something decided upon before the fiasco of my landlord telling me I had to move. It made sense after all options were examined, to keep on the current choice, but to get a new apartment (versus moving back home, etc).

I immediately immersed myself in all the routine of finding a place, negotiating timeframes, coordinating companies and working time off into the picture. After a week of searching, we went Saturday to the 7 places I had narrowed the search down to. Lady Luck smiled her sunshine smile on us Saturday when we entered the first place on the list and absolutely fell in love with it.

The landscaping in the place is gorgeous, the families with their kids walking around as well as the secure entryway with a camera gave me an instant breath of relief. The apartment itself (we only looked at a one bedroom) was WOW! The amenities (I’ll list them ;) are phenomenal! We just fell in love with it. We decided over the course of a few hours, to go for a two bedroom since we have plenty to store and it made sense financially.

Then we sat at a table watching the blue water of the pool, and waited to fill out the forms. And then it hit me…

Oh my god, I’m going to be living with someone!

I’ve lived alone since 2003 now, and was quite accustomed to it. I like my space and I like my space the way *I* like it. A few rampant thoughts ran through my head.

“But what if it doesn’t stay clean?”
“But what if things don’t work out?”
But…But…But…

Before the fear of change could turn from a trickle to a flood, I looked back at the window, and out to the pool.

“So what” I thought to myself.

“This is change, this is life, and right now… it’s pretty damn good”.

Yup, it sure is. So I signed the lease with a smile and it hasn’t left my face since…

Have a beautiful day everyone!
