I made some hard decision perforce
You know what I told B when he came by the other day to help me hang my African wood carving on the porch? He said wow, I can’t believe you got all this to come together. I said, well wow, let me tell you what I learned about myself – a lesson to the wise – I have qualties in me that were brought to the forefront perforce – they are endurance, preseverance, and faith – and I had them in spades the last twenty two months because I couldn’t have done this otherwise.
Today my appraisal came in at $200K over what the first appraiser was willing to value the LaLa at – and I signed my loan documents and set a closing date of April 6th – Good Friday. Again, it was preseverance and not letting other people tell me how the game is going to go, but instead having a vision of what should be. Had I listened to all the naysayers during the construction of this house, it wouldn’t be what it is today. Had I listened to those who said there are no choices, this is what it is, I would have been in a bind. But I listened to the voices in my head – and let me tell you they are freaky sometimes, but most of the time, they are guiding me in the right direction.
At the end of the day, you make your hard decisions alone, and you have faith that everything will turn out the way it is supposed to.
