“If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.”
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Good morning. Today is the day I give it all away. Certainly I will be compensated, but the money- the reward will not come from an amount of dollars and cents, but in a value that cannot be measured. I wept last night before retiring, feeling oh so beside myself with doubts and fears of what ifs and what will be...I cannot know and yet I find this morning- the courage from a prayer- a request for simply peace of mind.
The birds greeted me this morning, robins in the road and a nuthatch hopping down the side of the great Maple in the front yard.
"Ah!" I said, "A nuthatch."
That is enough, a sign for me that all is well, all will be well...
May this home find the good stewards that I have tried to be, may the new owners find in time- the peace that I have come to know. May the sunrises and sunsets speak to them as they have called to me daily- coloring my soul, filling me with wonder. May all who enter here find the joy I have found, may they come and go with a happiness that encompasses every one they meet, may the silent poetry of this place ring in the ears that might learn to listen for such things.
.
May love and only love- continue to grow here.
Amen.

Your rigt about the moment. The sun sets and rises again.
btw I did a followup on Mrs Jones with a nostagic story on my other blog - Troutbirder II. :)
Everything is going to be just fine. But I don't blame you for crying, I'd do it too :) Good luck, let me know if you need anything.
Love, Rhi
It's a done deal, we toasted it with good tequila, and good friends, who know you, love you and will always have your back wether you are in Maine or Missouri. I am so excited for you and your upcoming adventures, which I know will be most excellent.
Love you girl

Hope this finds you well! Best wishes,

Hugs to you as you let go and find peace in the new journey ahead... :c)
It is my utmost thanks that I offer for everyone's kindness. This transition is one of heaviness, excitement and as always, wonder. I could not, would not have it any other way. More to come on this adventure...
Take care.

I use Caroline's words they are better then mine.

Amen! Prayers on the Left Coast for all the goodness that is to come.
