You Madam, have a clarity that eludes most of us. A stark focus of your mortality that causes all the details to fall away. All of this petty emotional turmoil over a thing must make you wonder what’s wrong with us.
We are blind Aunti, we live our lives as if all of time were ours to dispose of.
Haha thanks! Unfortunately the last owners painted everything this ugly sea green color that doesn’t match the house at all. That finish work you see on the gable is common in this neighborhood, and many houses have stripped and repainted it with historic colors; they look amazing. Really hoping to do that next year.
I must agree, shake it off. We all fail, we all deserve second or thirds chances. We are dreamers and builders. We know what it means to try again, and again, to make it just right, just perfect. One more detail, looking for the balance of it all. Put yourself in Dan’s shoes. He is always present, always accountable, always straight forward.
I live in Southern California and literally just past a tent city of 100 or more make shift homes along the riverbed by Anaheim Stadium.
Humbled and grateful for not just a roof over my head, but all the things I take for granted!!!
Life is tough for many! Being able to splurge on something as extravagant as a home desktop laser is very special and we should try to observe it as such. It not arriving exactly when we wanted or expected it to - well we are definitely not living in a tent.
In high school (the 80s) I was lucky enough to do the 2-week trip to Germany. One week we lived with a family. Mine owned a Mercedes dealership. The father brought home a new car each night and then drove the one from the night prior back to the dealership. The mother, wonderful woman and great cook but a bit flighty, had a different car everyday. She always brought one of her children with whenever she went somewhere because she couldn’t remember which car was hers.
No, left home early Friday a.m. and arrived back late Sunday night. I don’t follow the forum when I only have my iphone. Sorry I missed all the fun. I very often find myself on the “wrong side of the law” with my opinions on delivery, progress reports, etc.
