HOUSE HUNTING

House hunting, what joy! Not!!
Anyone that has been in the market for a house knows there are as lot of different web-sites to put in your requirements and the things you want in a house. Here is where the hunt becomes tricky. Say this is your first house.
        The first house you want to be perfect, right? Everything you look at is either two small, no parking, and as you walk in, you feel claustrophobic. This will never do, but the price is right. Next on the list meets all of your demands and is absolutely perfect. Then comes the price, you budget is  "X" and they want "YXY".
          Now you are several properties in like thirty or more and none are right. So it's back to the drawing board. Okay if I give up this and make that maybe we can do, but will I be happy? This is a thirty year fixed mortgage. Do I have to stay here for thirty years? I'd rather die!
           Well what do I have to do to find the place I really what? Work seventy hours a week and save for the next ten years? I'll be dead in five. No that won't work either. There has to be a better solution to this problem, you state to yourself.
             Then comes the solution. Someone talks to you about what to do. They tell you keep your tiny house for five to ten years, sell it and then buy a bigger one, even if it doesn't meet all of your standards.
              Remember you can add or talk away what you don't like and with a little imagination you can take that house and turn it into your home.
               Relax, close your eyes, simply remember to breathe. It's out there, you just have to be patient.

May God Bless...…...

Disappointment!

My last blog was about hopes and dreams. We all have them, from childhood to young adulthood, then in our senior years. We also have disappointments, throughout life. It becomes harder as we become older.

            They say being disappointed is part of life. It teaches is to be strong, move on, and don’t grieve over what we missed. What we seem to forget is all the times we have had surprises that not only were satisfying. New bicycle, then a new car, actually a used car when we’re sixteen. Now it’s off to college, after college? Looking for that perfect job in the profession we have chosen for ourselves. Only to become disappointed when we’re told “sorry not hiring. Try back in a few months.”

            Same answer over and over. Every place you go. Your dreams are quickly up in smoke. Being foolish, we begin dreaming all over again. It seems we never learn our lessons, do we?

            Well those that read this blog, I hope and pray, you never stop dreaming and having thoughts for a better future. You know we’re the ones that screw up our dreams by having a big heart, always giving to others before ourselves.

            Well, I hope you have a pure heart, never take people for granted, never take advantage of anyone, be sure to teach others like you would like to be treated. Keep dreaming, even if its small dreams, never give up, they will come true if you are patient.

                                                May God Bless!

           

Wishes and Dreams

We as humans and maybe dogs and cats have dreams. We as humans, have more than just dreams, we have hopes and wishes. Even as children we have wishes, maybe only at Christmas to see all the lights, decorations and packages under the tree. We wish for things we want, only to have our wishes crumble when we build up the fact we know if we wish hard enough it has to come true, right? Then have our wishes go down the drain when they don't come true when we think they should.

            Wishes and dreams are not just for children or young adults, but for the middle aged and even the older generation. Most of the time it is to be able to do for our families to make their life’s better. To help keep them from going through the struggles we have gone through as we pass through young adulthood to the senior population.

            Not to make things to easy for them, but to keep them from heart break like we have all had to endure in our young adult years. I know when I hear my children and grandchildren are having a hard time I want to rush in and fix it. On the other hand I know they have to go some disappointment in life to learn how to solve the problems themselves.

            My dreams? Yes in my golden years I’ve had to get out the polish and clean up my dreams so they can remind me, we all have dreams and no matter how much we wish and dream we should never ever give up. The moral of the story is, dreams and wishes do come true in one way or another. We should never ever give up.

                                                God Bless and keep you safe.
