If you've been around here long, you've heard me go on ad nauseum about selling my house and making a new start far, far away from here. You won't be surprised to hear that you're not the only one who has to listen to it. I tell anyone I can pin down for a few minutes. So last night my phone rang. It was a cold call from a friend of a friend of a client who heard I might want to sell my house. They are moving here within the next few weeks and really want to look at my place. So I guess this is where we see if I really mean business, huh?

I'm not meant to live alone

Change is so scary. Why is that? Why do we fear the one constant in life? 'Change' I mean. Any change I've experienced has oftentimes been for the better. But still--that nagging reticence to start the process of change. Can I have a heads up for when I need to start SOUTH BEACH DIET, though?
I'm sure you'll get an immediate offer; you have a beautiful home from the bits and pieces you've shared here.
OMG. SELL! Move to Austin and be my BFF!! (Oh, how about one more ! for the road)
Michael, you speak the truth. Change is almost always good, but we fight it tooth and nail. Looking back on my life, difficult changes have almost always ended in blessings. And yet it's a constant struggle to make the next one. I'm gonna scramble to whip my house into shape and see what happens. I've sold without a realtor before, so that doesn't frighten me and it would mean more pocket change to start over somewhere out there.
Charlie, that BFF offer sounds like some of that silver lining that comes with dark clouds/change. I'm thinking about parts South and Austin surely does come highly recommended for SGMs like ourbadselves.
I am a new reader to your blog; I enjoy it so far - but I am walking in on Act III or your opera.
What are the pros/cons to moving, and where do you fancy going?
ur-spo, nice of you to ask. I'll shorthand it for you. I'm a big homo (you prolly got that) who finds himself in an ultra-conservative area in a customer service job (read: my hands are on you), so I don't necessarily play straight all day, I definitely don't let the gay out. I'm asexual, for your comfort. Pros to move: I get to be real. Cons to move: Starting over is hard, yo, and I make really good money here. Up to speed? I know, I know, it's a no brainer, but have I mentioned that starting over is hard?
michael is that your house in the pic?? lol no wonder you have the dreams you do sweetie : )
Wow, I can relate. I think you should do what you mentioned - show the house and see where that leads. This might be the sign you needed to get things moving on this whole change your life thing, who knows.
I just had a sign like that myself - my mom just came up with a way to make it much, much easier for me to pick up and move to Florida (the change I've been pondering for almost a year), that has me seriously thinking about it now.
It is so hard, that change. Like Michael Guy said, it's the hardest to start the process of change...even when it's a pretty good chance that it will be for the better and work out great. Urgh.
