karma

Today was a good day.

-The sun was out and showing its face. The sky was bluer than blue. When I drove up the valley to a friend's house this afternoon it almost took my breath away---I live in such a beautiful place.

-I realized, after much calculating and figuring, that I CAN afford the house. So the plan is for the kids and I to be here and for him to find an apartment in June. I can live with that.

-The house was shown twice this week. No offers, but it was still encouraging. Praying that our awesome backyard wowed someone....and praying for a bidding war. I serve a big God, so it could happen.

He came home from the weekend festival and said, "I had a bad day." I was unclear about how he could have a bad day when the entire day was spent surrounded by the one thing in the world he loves the most: The Hobby. He proceeded to tell me how he had crashed the 3K "something-something" he had JUST purchased a month or so ago. It's damaged beyond repair.

I tried not to smirk, but I wasn't successful. I said in my calmest, most even voice..."I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere.....maybe you can find it while you're paying 18% interest on that pile of junk sitting in the dumpster."

I think that's called Karma.
