My Future Home

380 views. 2010-4-23 16:45 |

Whimsical, unstable, and stern, to say the weather of this spring is unpredictable would be an understatement. This moment the sun had peeked through the clouds, dispelling the chill of air, the next moment a cold wind had sprung up, signaling yet another delay to summer. Warmer weather should arrive any day, but those low clouds said not quite yet. This prolonged frozen spring has become quite creepy, wearing everyone done, but I knew deep inside that it was not the weather that bothering me. It was the uncertainty about the future, the concerns for the people I care about, and the inevitable sensation of time slipping by without much to be achieved. Middle-age crisis? Perhaps it is.

 

For quite a long time I found it hard to concentrate on writing. Things have popped up lately and surely there are many of them deserved to be mentioned. However, I just couldn’t settle down for writing. Perhaps I had experienced too much, thus I needed more time to digest what I had been going through.

 

First of the first, we finally found our future home---an apartment close to my company. With so many measures coming up to cool down the house market, probably the timing was not right, but we are really tired of this hunting game. Anything would be an improvement over nothing. Besides it’s not easy to find a house that its style, layout and neighborhood could be that satisfactory, plus the price is acceptable. So the deal is done after many papers signed, many forms filled, and many applications sent out. Now, although we are still going through the process, there would be no turning back. I guess I can call this place as my future home now. After we make it homey and comfortably as we could, it should become a place filled with laughter and security----a little piece of heaven shielding us from the outside coldness (at least I hope so).  The thing I like most about this apartment is that it has an indoor garden attached to the bedroom, where I could picture myself sitting in a rocking chair, lose myself in reading. Therefore just like that, this house has become a sweet burden for us now---not only financially, but also emotionally. It doesn’t matter whether or not we can get 70% tax rate----who am I kidding? Surely it matters, but it is just not the most important thing.  The most important, I think, should be what we can use to fill its emptiness. That would be the real challenge.
