Birthday Eve....

another year is almost at an end for me.  Birthday tomorrow.
a very nice couple came by the house today, looked everything over, seemed to like what they saw, said they would chat over things and give us a call....hmmm.  maybe?
they are our age and for once during the conversation, DH didn't go into his...this is a working farm property and you should be able to work it as such...conversation.  I'm proud of him, have been telling him that we should be concerned about what new owners want to do with the property, it will be theirs....no longer ours or our concern.  we are making headway in letting go of that thought, there have been prospective buyers in the past that DH has told them that they were too old and this place wasn't for them....he didn't say anything along those lines today...i'm happy!
IF he is truly ready to let go, then the new owners can and should be anyone who comes here with check in hand to buy the place.  Not someone who meets his criteria....finally I think he is getting it.
now on to the birthday!  not sure, but I have been getting the unction that now is the time...instead of the "I'll start on Monday" routine, I'm starting in the morning.
Begin the day with dry body brushing, walk for a mile or so, shower, then start the daily routine of morning devotion/breakfast/DEP work/craft work/lab work/normal day. and then a dry brushing before bed.  oh, and plenty of green tea/water/detox tea.  haven't had a soft drink in a couple weeks, now I really could go for a Pepsi...but I'll wait!...and speaking of tea, I have one that has finished steeping, let's go get it...
have a great afternoon!

The End of the First Month of the New Year

Here we are almost at the end of January.  The year so far...we got an offer on the house, but it was an offer that was for a lease to buy option...we worked on it for a few weeks, trying to come to some sort of an agreement, but nothing could be worked out.  Any $ would have to be put into an escrow account, which did us no good.  A complete sale would be best for us...then we could leave here, start our new life with a new house and no looking back, or any ties remaining to the property.
We are waiting for the Lord to bring us the right buyer, until then we work towards being ever the more ready to leave.
I've been making jewelry, mostly bracelets, but not doing any sales at the Flea Market, as every weekend has been a rain soak day! so I'm making for the day we open a shop.
we did make the trip to SC, got our sales license with the state...had a day with the Mid-Winter SOS weekend.  checked out several locations....
we feel the unction that we are to
Sale the house...a complete/final sale
Find a smaller house, with a garage in NMB
open a boutique in the EUTS market
begin our new life with a new home, decorated slowly with our joint decisions
be available for some vacation time with the motor home
That's our prayer and we are sticking to it!
DH had a good birthday....I surprised him with 3 gift cards...Applebees, Olive Garden, Red Lobster!
so he is a happy camper!
