Introducing my new home

gday again. I have been so remiss when it comes to my blog and I promised myself I wouldn’t be lol.. arghhhhhh I am so impulsive .. oi vey 🙂
Anyway I thought I might let you all know about my lovely home in the country. The song by John Williamson: Give me a home among the Gum Trees…. describes what I am now renting beautifully so if you are an Aussie you will know immediately how blessed I am; if you are from the US or another country, you can look the song up on utube xoxo

Well now, I was so sick in my last rental and I just never seemed to be able to escape. My being a single female who no longer works thanks to the illness also made real estates and prospective landlords pass me over despite my excellent references after years of renting lol. I can laugh now but it was heartbreaking to go through at the time and, more than once, I allowed depression and a sense of helplessness take over my usually bubbly disposition. For me, the two years and two months I was there seemed to be a real dark night of the soul time for me… faith was not easy to hang onto and the state of my health, the sudden and unpredictable attacks of inability to breathe and consequent high blood pressure and heart palpitations something I learned to expect sooner or later. I tried really hard to let the real estate agent know; I left my job because I thought it was the culprit (truth be told it most definitely contributed to my fall from what had been pretty much picture perfect health, I was so spoilt that way!) yet, though it definitely eased the symptoms it didnt stop them. I had a terrible time with horrible and sometimes sickly smells in there. I won’t bore you with all the details, no point especially now I am out, but suffice it to say that my word rarely constituted enough reason for them to investigate. Funny how letting them know I had contacted Fair Trading produced some results. Not enough of course, once again there were many empty promises of what they were going to do to make it right. By this time I already knew it was the sewerage pipes and they would have to dig up the foundations to fix it. I knew it would never happen and took matters into my own hands.

I knew I wanted a place in the country; space for me, my grandson, the motorhome, my car and if possible the right to have a dog again! I advertised personally via flyers with no result. However, thanks to a suggestion of a site where a place near me was being advertised, I found the perfect outlet for me to showcase what a great tenant myself and my grandson would be 🙂

There were two that didnt work, one I rejected because I could see it flooded inside the place and the area was known for constantly flooding; the second I didnt want, it had a really pungent smell of dog and I knew it wouldnt leave. I did say yes to it when I was approached though because I was so desperate to live where I could feel well again ( by this time though I had secret fears that it was my body and not the unit, frightening all things considered). I asked my Angels to guide me and to only allow me to have it if it was right for me. Well I didnt get it and I was disappointed because of my need to move but somehow relieved too!

My Angels were definitely guiding me to the right place because I was contacted by another person the next day and we negotiated the rent etc etc. I have landed on my feet at last. I won’t say it is perfect, there are always glitches of some kind. I will, however say it is my own little piece of paradise, a part of the rainforest filled with so many varied and beautiful birds. I now have a dog too, beautiful and loyal; mischievous and intelligent but thats a story I will elaborate on later. Josh is home from school and our weekend begins. I’ve friends coming to stay too! Oh its so wonderful my friends feel able to come and enjoy here.. see? Blessings come when you have faith! Much love to you all, will be back a lot sooner than last time lol to fill you in on more of my adventures including our pup! In the meantime have an awesome weekend wherever you may be
