Serendipity

The term is sometimes used to mean "the randomness of fate," as in "whatever happens to cross my desk today."
                The days are starting to go by a little faster and soon it will be time for me to leave. I have heard so many different thought from people close to me about my decision to leave Tucson and move to a small town. While I take in all that they have to say the same thought runs threw my mind when the talk about it. "How does anyone know that it is going to be a disaster?" Yes I know that it has not been the best for some so they compare it to that, but did they ever think maybe she really is going to do something with this chance? No, none of them do but that is what gives me some much more determination to make something great come of this.
                  I have lived in Tucson almost my whole life and that's what makes me want this so bad, a chance to be somewhere different to know that I am able to unlock the door that has been holding me here for so long. I will miss Tucson for very few obvious reason. One is our sunsets we have the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen. If you find the right spot to sit and watch one you could easily get lost in it for hours thinking about anything and everything that you have on your mind and the best part is...it will never argue back.
                                                

               I know one day I will be back everyone comes back one day. Some have said that they never really appreciated Tucson till they left and experienced something new. I can not guarantee that when I move its all going to be perfect but then again I cant say it wont turn out to be good either. If its one thing I don't want its to say later that I regret not having the guts to take a step and make a big change because I wanted to. We all only have one life so we might as well do things we want even if it doesn't always make sense to everyone else. I mean if we all lived our life based on the suggestions of everyone else the world would be a boring place. So to everyone that has something negative to say, I respect your opinion but that does not mean that you can change what I have decided to do no matter how many time you say it. There are a few places I need to visit before I leave but that will make for another day of rambling.

                                    

Bailey

                                                                        RIP Bailey

Bailey was our oldest huskie and one of the best! We adopted her as a companion for our male when he was a puppy so he wouldnt be loney. I found her on the Humane Society Website and when I called to see if she was still there the lady said "Yes but you better come today, this is her last day if she isnt adopted today she will be put to sleep". I called my husband to meet me there with Lokie so they could meet. From the very moment they did it was like they had known each other all along. I knew she was going to be a great add to our family, since we have no children our dogs fill that place and they all mean the world to us.

                   Then we adopted Maya who was a case of a bad divorce and they no longer wanted to "deal" with her as the lady put it. She was welcomed into the pack as me and my husband call it just as easy as Bailey was 2 years before and they were almost like mother and pup. Bailey was always the boss over all of them and when she was upset she made it known to the others.

Yesterday I made the hardest choice I have ever had to make. Bailey lived a wonderful life with us and was the best dog that coud have ever asked for. She was a lover and very sweet but also the boss and head of the pack. We loved her very much but she was old and had a hard time getting around so now she is laid to rest and is in a much better place with no pain and all the pig ears she wants. To anyone that has had to experince what I did yesterday of loosing a pet, my heart goes out to you for making it through something like

that.

                                  We all love you Bailey aka Hamburger and miss you everyday!



What would you do.......

I have lived in Tucson almost my whole life and while I have had good times and memories here I have also had my share of the worst (like anyone else,anywhere else i am sure). These past couple months I have had this feeling that I just dont feel Tucson is where I want to call "home" anymore. Some days it feels like someone threw me in, slammed the door behind me and locked the door, I shared this feeling with a wise person and she told me "that person is you Melinda". Can it be true? Am I the gate keeper that refuses to open my own door? I have a wonderful job and work with someone of the most amazing people and I use to think that was reason enough to stay but the desire inside me to run and experience other things is saying thats not enough. We get lots of jobs in our lifetime, but we only get one life to make it all we want it to be. I have been presented with the options and means to pack up tomorrow and go where I feel I want and need to be, so what is holding me here? That is the question that I cant figure out. Sometimes I think that the lack of travel in my childhood is what makes me fear change so bad and at the same time is the reason I have the feeling to leave and do what I want without taking in ridicual from others.
                        So what would you do............. stay because things are okay not great but okay, or take the chance and do what you feel inside would be better and take the risks that come with it??
