We were so close...

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, we put our house on the market and we had an offer in 9 days!!! Unbelievable! I started packing like a crazy person! I could taste it....the warmth....the sunshine...family. And then after 2 weeks of inspections and a little back and forth...it was over. The buyers canceled the purchase. Even though I was a real estate agent for about 7 years, I was a seller. I was excited, nervous and crazed.

Now what?! I have asked myself that over and over. We are back on the market and we have had showings.

Here is what I know:
It is in the Lords hands.
It has been confirmed to me that now is the time.
I have inner peace.

Here is what I don't know:
Why that deal fell through?
When we will get another offer?
What am I supposed to learn from this?

I want to learn it quickly so we can move on, literally and figuratively. And maybe what I need to learn cannot be learned quickly. Perhaps it is patience and faith, neither can be learned quickly and without some discomfort. I will keep you posted on the move and the growth.

Blizzard...and I'm not at Dairy Queen!

Yesterday, or as my grandson says, "lasterday" we had a blizzard. School was canceled, some stores closed as did some roads. School for today was canceled last night. Is the landscape beautiful? Yes. Does everything look like a freshly painted room? (my frame of reference) Yes. Do I love the 2 1/2-3ft wall of snow the plow leaves in front of my driveway? Ummm, NO! Really!! You can't just make one more trip around the end of the cul de sac and push that into my yard? You put the entire street of snow into my yard.  Oh, well. I guess you get paid either way. No need to be kind. Rant complete!
Now I'll just take a deep breath and focus on the beauty of the day!
