Wooohoooo! My new home.

So I am going to be living round the corner from the Columbia Rd Flower Market, and today was the first time I've ever been there. It was amazing, and I loved it. Also I loved the house and think the people I am going to live with will be great fun. The room was the biggest and nicest I have seen so far.
I am really pleased it has all worked out and I have found somewhere. And it was a shame I encountered some not so well mannered people on the journey, but it was still good to have seen some of the amazing flats and apartments that I saw, but I feel good about this one. I loved walking up from Liverpool Street, through Spitalfields and Brick Lane, and RichMix is just round the corner. Couldn't be better. So weird how things work out. I have been going over to the east end on an off for the last year, gradually getting to know it better and really loving it. I imagined how I'd love to have lived there but couldn't see how it would happen, and now it has, with the job and the move, and it feels great, I am really looking forward to it. Can't wait.

2009 The year of London and many joys

Last year was an amazing year in so many ways. So many of us came so far, and through so much. I am grateful for my lovely friends, my great friends. I am so happy for my dear friend who finally got her little girl. I am so happy that things have turned around for her. And I am so happy that so many of my friends have had good years also. And amazingly I am finally moving jobs and home, London zone2 here I come! Thank goodness. I can't believe that I got the new job,the payrise and the opportunity to move, I am so delighted. And I am still loving life so much. I have the odd down day but I work through it and the mood moves on. My family are all doing so well, and I am so pleased for them.
This last year has really been a time of healing, cliche of course, but it really has, and not just for me but lots of people around me. I am grateful to those who have helped in that.
I am very excited about what this year may bring. Firstly I move from the suburbs and lodging to somewhere urban with other adults, woohoo and have a more normal life! Secondly I move jobs, get challenged in my work but get paid tons more for doing it! Then I get to go on lots of dates!!Yeehah!
Sometimes I do think I have limited time at this cos of the age thing, but as long as I am not looking my age or acting past it, I will make the most of it.
Got to get back to the gym cos the 2 weeks in the US over Christmas really added a few pounds and I really feel sluggish, but apart from that, everything is good. Just need to find new home and then sorted.
