It's nice to see that successful bloggers like yourself actually run out of ideas every once in a while too. It makes you seem more human :D Thanks for sharing!

The simplest way to getting where we intend to go begins with acknowledging where we really are today. It's a risk. Thank you for taking that risk. Where did you get that comic? I don't see the attribution. It is hilarious! Thanks for being real. The simplest way to getting where we intend to go begins with acknowledging where we really are today. It’s a risk.

Even when we have everything, we feel like something is missing. Your logical side is telling you that your current house is actually the same as the other one, but your emotional side is telling you something else. It's newer, and better but more importantly, it's different. However, now that you've already made the decision, there's no need to think about it. Just celebrate that you are moving to the new place! :) Congratulations! Sometimes, our minds play tricks on us. Even when we have everything, we feel like something is missing.

Honesty is good. Here's something to think about....why would a 50 something person with a paid for house and a debt free life suddenly seeing a house in the country for sale (I'm in city looking at gang graffetti starting to grow on houses nearby) suddenly want to throw in the towel, buy a little manufactured home with a view of the cow pastures (ok, so MOST views in Moo-town are of cow pastures, with mountains in background), and have a mortgage again???? At least until the house I am in now is finished (paint and flooring and trim) and able to be sold? Sometimes I need my head examined - but I am putting in an offer on that country house today.... Size wise, it's 100 sq ft bigger and has a garage, and a double lot (min'es single) but that's about the only differences in the house. Well, this is a new side of you – but not a problem.
