So...Hi there Cheryl, all of us can relate to that. Sometimes there are things beyond our control. Even sailing can relate to that as well. Sometimes while underway things change. We have to change as well to adapt to the new conditions. Sometimes all we get is a breeze to get us by and sometimes is a blow, LOL. But we adjust and keep making way in the right direction, sometimes not as straight as we wish, but it is a way darn it. Enjoy your Christmas. Maybe the next one your daughter may visit somewhere else...<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />SammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580803911138944660.post-37064045588496851052013-12-22T01:01:07.885-06:002013-12-22T01:01:07.885-06:00I meant to post the other day when I read your mel...I meant to post the other day when I read your melancholy post, but just now have time. I'm glad you are getting back out there and doing what you have to do to make things happen. You have to adapt and change, it's all part of it. We'll even have to do it while we are cruising. You aren't a failure at real estate, at least not to me. Real estate is a tricky business that can be exhausting and fruitless (so I've heard), and in this economy in your area it's no wonder. Hopefully your house will sell soon and when you look back you won't see yourself as a failure, but as accomplished for overcoming all of these things are binding you to land.

Hang in there, and continue to enjoy your family and friends while you wait to cast off those land lines. I'm not known for my cooking either but luckily turkey's usually turn out just fine. Have a wonderful holiday!Laura and Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896070726300067146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580803911138944660.post-58176627744928131012013-12-20T23:47:00.275-06:002013-12-20T23:47:00.275-06:00Hey Cheryl...the only thing that's permanent i...Hey Cheryl...the only thing that's permanent in life is the fact that everything is temporary...& that's why ya gotta have some fun before yer done !! The goal of going cruising is one way of escaping the rat race & you'll get there, & we'll see you out there someday !! A hard won fight will make the victory that much sweeter. Hang in there !!

One of the bigger bright spots is ...Ken and Cheryl,<br />One of the bigger bright spots is that you've decided to go cruising now (at least ASAP). So many of us waited until retirement to live the dream. I think you'll find having gone earlier in your lives, you'll have that much more time to enjoy the lifestyle and the energy to take full advantage of it. Your time will come sooner than you think, so hang in there and continue to outfit your boat and plan your departure.Neophyte Cruiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786143804921164212noreply@blogger.com
