I guess that could be an opening to a much longer story, but for now that's it. Maybe I'll work it in to the 'novel' I'm taking forever to really get going on.

No, I don't work on the house myself - don't have (nor do I want to have) those skills - This vintage 1900 house we bought in 1986 when we had one infant child. It has grown and changed along with our marriage and our family and our selves. I can and often do keep track of things as they relate to the timeline that includes work on the house: the kitchen expansion, the addition of the laundry room, changing out the old windows, replacing the w2w carpet with the original and new hardwood floors, repainting the bedrooms (how many times?), two new roofs, and umpteen changes in the half acre parcel -- <br />Most recently, in an effort to consider retirement, I think about selling this place (we paid $185,00 in 1986 - this is, after all, the greater SF Bay area - and likely could get around $600,000 now) but it's hard to think about losing this old friend.....<br />Nice post!Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920411020784409759.post-16884584586905475522013-03-01T06:07:17.416-08:002013-03-01T06:07:17.416-08:00I am a big believer in recognizing the good things...I am a big believer in recognizing the good things in life and not just concentrating on the bad.

I have almost all the wonderful things in my life, yet instead of seeing them as gifts from the Universe, I was nitpicking, about some little things that were not available to me, I made those little things look like huge things that were deliberately made not available to me by the Universe.<br />Then I forcefully brought myself to track: I started to think of all the good things that have happened and keep happening in my life without any effort on my part, and I felt so happy and fulfilled. I felt that each day was a miracle.<br />Yes, it might make you feel a little bad that you could not personally do the job, but just think, that this universe has put you in a position where you can employ some one to do the job for you. You have given employment to some one. You and your house have not grown older, you have both become wiser and happier. So, you see you have so many things that has been going well for you. It doesn't need adjustment, it just needs a shift in the way we look at our lives, then all our disappointments just vanish away. <br />Have a great day Jerry!Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.com
