My scrambling feet losing
Ground slipping, head only down
Looking for something to hold
On to, a glimmer
A comforting lead, exposed
Roots, a twisted branch
I could easily picture us
In the yard, playing
Soccer, building forts
Losing ourselves in the ferns
Singing kids to sleep
Turkey dinners and warm winter nights
Cuddled up with a new cozy quilt
Under the new roof, looking
At Redwoods, wandering
The neighborhood never searching again
Crafting in the room designated
For such things, projects left undone
My own space never wondering
How I would find the time
The timing is off
No one wants what we are trying to sell
There is a good reason although
I can’t see it of course, this path
Laid before us, in color
My heart yearning for this
The chance to walk among
The redwoods and to call
Them home
I guess the simplest
Answer
Let go

Sorry to hear that things are not moving as quickly as you had hoped 😦
Thank you Danielle, me too 😦 We just found out yesterday we lost the house we were dreaming of moving into…I had to write about it to move through it. It is still a raw wound.
Oh nooooo….I’m sorry you lost the house. But you know what? This exact thing happened to us a few months ago. I was crushed. Then a few weeks later another house came up on the market even better than the one that I thought was our dream. So you never know why things happen! I love your image and soon you will find just what you were looking for. hugs
Hi Laura, I do agree. It feels like we are in a holding pattern for a reason. Never easy to hold still when you want to fly!
Thank you for the kind thoughts, I am of course doing find, just sad. It is totally part of this process of moving and I am so thankful I have an outlet, this blog, to share my triumphs, happy moments and my darker ones too.
I can’t wait to hear when you say…I’m so glad we didn’t get the other house. Big hugs
Ahh, I am too!! Thank you, it means so much to read your encouraging words today.
You’re welcome Carrie :)))
Oh Carrie, I am so very sorry to hear things are not going the way you had hoped and dreamed, I will be praying that the right doors open and you are able to find and buy the house of your dreams, also that God will send the right people to buy your house and they will treasure it! Keep your chin up the best is still to come! Hugs to you! ❤❤

Thank you for joining me, Janet. I appreciate your comments and well wishes. I know my family will be well where we are going…just wish we could sell what we need to and move on 🙂
