This is a picture of the shopping district in Brighton, England.
I arrived in England on December 18th. It is beautiful here! I live a mere 3 minute walk from the SEA (English Channel) and am enjoying the serenity it offers me. I walk every day, along the promenade by the Sea, joined by many local residents, who embrace their good fortune to live so near to such beauty.
I am in good health, both physically and emotionally. Everyone is still with me...and no one has acted "out" since arriving. I don't mean to imply we are not "out" because that would be lying....we are in and out. Susannah (me) is out most of the time, as she is handling this move to a new Country so very well. We are happy! Our Muse seems to have stayed in America, as our ability to write has left us, for the time being. Perhaps, the adjustment period will be over soon and "SHE" will return....we are hopeful, as our writing is paramount to us.
The divorce was final on December 8th, which would have been our 3rd Wedding Anniversary...which caused us much laughter...come on....it is funny. I just received word, that he is losing the house, which he so desperately wanted to keep. Thanks to my Attorney, I was completely relieved of any debt that may be associated with a future foreclosure. Right before my departure for England, I had to go to the house to remove all that was appointed to me in the divorce decree. He came out to tell me he loved me and wanted me to come back to him. I did not reply, but oh I wanted to!!!! I received a letter in the mail from the Judge who presided over my Criminal Charge, and am delighted to tell you, those charges are no longer on my record and the probation has been set aside as well. KARMA!!!!!! Yes, I endured some horrific trials and paid lots of money, convicted of a crime I did not commit, but KARMA has found retribution for me and I am at peace.
My only sadness is missing my family and my beloved dog, Scarlett. She is now 13 and is living, happily with my parents. I talked to her on the phone yesterday, and my Mum said she was licking the phone all the while I was talking to her. I will be going home in late Spring and can not wait to see her.
To Doc, whom I hope still, now and then checks to see if I have posted. Thank you, with all my heart, in pronouncing me sane (lol) which in turn allowed me to go through with my plan to move here to England. I have a postcard for you and will send it soon....promise! I miss you, as my friend, and hope to once again meet with you, as such. I hope that you are taking good care of yourself and that you have found your new puppy. I think of you often, of how much you helped me know all of "US". More importantly, the help you provided in guiding me in the acceptance, of who we are.
Steve, and all my friends, who once followed my Blog...I miss you and think of you often, as well. I hope that all of you are finding your peace and happiness. I can not promise to write here every day, but will keep you updated as to the turn our lives have taken. We love you and miss you.
