While I haven't suffered the sorrow that you have, I have been stuck in a sort of in-between life and it's frustrating but there are always good books, pictures, art, to get you through - and opportunities too, not that I saw them at the time. And even if the end isn't in sight, there will be an end. <br /><br />I still have the lovely green heart wreath you sent me, oh, two years ago now? hanging on my sitting-room window, a cheering sight on a grey January day. A kind gift I always appreciate.<br /><br />In the mean while, I wish you a much happier 2014 and send you a big hug, which is odd because I've never met you but that's the power of the internet isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-70356338210665259292014-01-07T10:39:36.902+00:002014-01-07T10:39:36.902+00:00You aren't stuck, you're waiting.

That can be frustrating or could also be a fruitful time - can you think of it as "time out" in which to reflect on the old life, and what parts you want to take forward into your new life, and which things you want to let go? I hope your waiting is soon over and you can build your new nest ....Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07085170279660503572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-2166501639914694092014-01-06T13:32:33.129+00:002014-01-06T13:32:33.129+00:00Oh, I feel for you, in those terrible dragging day...Oh, I feel for you, in those terrible dragging days of waiting to move into a new home! I wish I'd paid more attention to the deeper feelings at the time, instead of only dealing practically with the frustrations and delays. Looking back, I can see that I was 'stopped' rather than 'stuck' but missed what it had to teach me, about patience, not getting what I want, persevering. Stay hopeful; all will be well.

Years and years and years bring so many changes in one's perspective. Layers of experiences accumulate, each bringing a variety of sensations and memories.<br /><br />I have the sense that 2013 passed by very quickly. I was not always thrilled by that feeling of whoosh, wanting to hold on to some pleasant days and weeks, wishing I had an extra day each week, or a few extra hours each day.<br /><br />There have been some times in my past that I felt lingered way too long. What a strange mix life can bring us.<br /><br />Let me send along to you best wishes for 2014, with a promise to send you an email very soon. Not enough room in this comment box to ramble as I would like to!<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-75644492291526736872013-12-30T12:27:46.943+00:002013-12-30T12:27:46.943+00:00I also recognise your feelings of frustration and ...I also recognise your feelings of frustration and limbo - been there. You should, however, congratulate yourself for the progress you have made. When you get your new place you know it'll consume you. Until then don't forget to look up and see the opportunities that your current position offer - there are some.<br />I hate New Year's Eve too. Save it for your housewarming party :). Best wishes to you for 2014.

Maybe one day when you look back on this horrible time you will be able to see the things you have learned from it and that you have become a different person with the new knowledge you have gained and that things as always have turned out as they should even if it doesn't seem possible just now. Fifty is a difficult time I seem to remember anyway but as with all things it does pass!!
