There is another physical law that teases me, too:
And I find I am more affected by today's news than I thought I would be.
It is positively certain that a chapter in our lives is truly over.
There is a sold sign at the old house.
21/2 months ago we walked away from our home of 11 yrs; and now somebody else will be moving in and making it their own.
Looking back I can say that we enjoyed a blessed and enchanted life there. And though I can honestly say that we are still as greatly blessed and happy, I feel some remorse today.
And...today's emotions are reminding me of the time way back when , when I learned that 'our' Oregon place was sold...I cried. Great memories and people and landmark events went on on that 10 acre plot of land...it was hard to admit it was really over and not ever to be replicated again. And even though I know that changes brought on bigger and better things in our lives...
today I will allow a twinge of sorrow to cloud my vision for a moment.
Im not crying...but I am sad.
A lot of blood sweet and tears went into that lovely home of ours.
My beautiful kitchen
the pomegranates and pistachios
the pool
the theater room
the grass
All things which will no longer be ours to enjoy.
But...
In the same breathe I can honestly say that there is a LOT to like and enjoy in our new home...
But again,
today is a little bit about reminiscing and longing....
I suppose there is a part of me that believes in fate....
but Im not sure yet if I can say that we are “meant' to be here in our new location...
but I am comfortable and peaceful and content...(for the most part)and plan to make the best of it.
For this I am grateful.
And my Builder is grateful that Im grateful.
The End

What? Okay..you're not crying but I am now! *tear
Many years ago, after we lost our first house I realized that we taking nothing with us when we leave this earth, I have been free every since. I feel your pain for I have felt it also my friend.
We'll miss it, too. You're a blessing to my little brother to be grateful and I'm grateful you're grateful! I think Pres. Monson's talk is the way to mental stablilty in these crazy times. I'm grateful for him!!
Just catching up on my reading - and now I'm sad too! I miss your house for you friend! I know how much love and effort and time went into that home. And I spent many a night enjoying your hospitality there. It was a comfortable place to be. But anywhere you and Bob are will be comfortable! And your new home looks inviting as well! I will plan a visit soon... Love you and thinking of you!
