Dang it...but remain positive

I didn't get the house. Feeling alittle discouraged. I really thought I had this one. I bid $10,000 more then the asking price. It would have been perfect. I guess it wasn't "ment to be".

Not going to let it ruin my weekend. Doesn't mean I won't shed a tear though.

On to the next one. I am going to widen my search. Maybe not out by my daughter. Maybe I should stay close to work. It would be along drive (30miles one way) but I love to listen to books, so it wouldn't be too bad. Dang it! I guess I will just keep searching.

I could really use that tax credit. It could solve alot of problems for me. I will press on!

    Well, shoot! The next one will be IT. And it'll be more perfect. We have to believe that everything happens for a reason.

    Thank you for leaving me such a nice uplifting comment. And after the news you got, it means even more.

    God will put you in the house that is right for you. I'm hoping something better will come along for you soon and that you will realize all this waiting and hassle has been worth it. :)

    Sorry you didn't get *the One* but maybe because you didn't get it it actually means a better one is out there for you.
    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
    Funny that we're doing this at the same time, eh?
    Here's to finding the perfect home <3

    I'm with everyone else, I wonder if fate is at work--that you just have not come upon "the right" house yet.

    Passing you a tissue, as I know it hurts. Shed your tears, then enjoy your grandbabies and the 3-day weekend.

    You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

    I'm sorry you did not get the house, and obviously don't know your situation...but it is still such a buyer's market...and with that govt. money...I hope you find something you like.

    Sorry you didn't get the house but I agree with Hopefool, great attitude about it all. what is meant to be will happen, I know that perfect house will come along for you. Kind of makes me think back to when we bought this house, I guess I should have a little more lover for it, at the time it was the house for us. Thanks for reminding me to be grateful. *hugs*

    I choose to believe that you didn't get that house because something more perfect is awaiting you. I know that the disappointment sucks, but your bravery in keeping after this dream is amazing and inspiring. You are one of the folks I look up to.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
