I'm sorry I've not been on here much.  We finally closed on the house we've been trying for since November so this weekend is full of moving stuff. I'm hoping everyone out there reading this is having a great weekend and staying warm.  Blessed Be.

I hope everyone had a good Yule, Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, Merry Solstice and everything else.  Oh and today is Boxing day so I hope it's a great one for everyone reading this.

In my last post I mentioned looking at a house, well we had found another one by accident the same weekend and chose that one.  Now the mortgage is at the underwriters and we are hoping to close Friday.  So need lots of good energy in hopes we get it. 

Not a lot to say really, just wanted to show that I was still around. Blessed be

Just putting something on here to update it a bit and too let everyone/anyone who reads know I'm still around.

We're still house shopping.  I'm beginning to really dislike the whole housebuying process.  So far we've made offers on two different houses and neither one has worked out.  The first one we don't understand why it didn't go through, our lender and us think it was a combination of the bank that owned the home and the realtors we were using.  The second one we backed out of 'cause the owners agreed to everything except paying for the termite inspection.  Since the seller usually pays that around here, that sent red flags up with our realtor and she thinks that there must be some termite damage since the seller won't pay the 75.00 for the inspection.

So here we are going to look at another house.  This one looks great has a couple acres and really looks like it might be the home for us.  It's out in the country only about 45 min or so from the city so it's really a reasonable drive for hubby.  He'll want me to quit work 'cause he doesn't want me driving that far that late at night and really that's fine with me.  I don't like being more then a few minute drive from the kids just in case something should happen and they need me.  It's also only 30 minutes from the lake we frequent, and that's a big plus for my bunch.

I'm really hoping this is the house for us.  I'm looking for home, not just a place to stay.  I'll know within the first few minutes of walking in if this is home.  To be honest I didn't get the feeling of home in the last two we tried for, maybe that's why it didn't work out.  I should be able to walk through the front door and have the house welcome me in.  It should feel like I belong, not like it'll do until I find something better/different. 

 

Wishing everyone out there a Merry Samhain.

I was reading a blog post from a sister-in-law and she comes across very angry and frustrated and so on.  It got me thinking about my chosen path...because she had once told me that she was studying Wicca and the wiccan/pagan path and Native American, but she talks/writes about how this person did that or is that or that she just wants to everyone who doesn't see things her way to basically take a long walk off a short cliff.  There's more but its frustrating to talk about and it takes me to a mindset where I don't want to be.  But the way I see it, she says (or used too, we are not on speaking terms really at the moment so I do not know what path she is on now) that she's Wiccan/Pagan or whatever and used to quote the Wiccan crede but nearly her every action contradicts what she says she is.  From what I've learned thus far about Wicca is that thoughts and words are powerful things and you should choose wisely what you think and say or write.  I've done chants/spells and meditations to clear negative thoughts from my head (I have to do a lot with this particular person as she says a lot of negative things about my family and of course this brings up negative thoughts and I ask the Goddess' help each time to think positive or at least neutral).  I try and am trying to not think negative and say negative things about anyone because I believe in the three-fold rule and do not need anymore things going wrong for us (especially since we are trying to find a home to buy).  My sil has made recent decisions that a lot of family members do not understand nor agree with.  My thought is and has been, while I may not understand or agree with everything she does, I do truly wish for everything to work out for what is best for her, her husband and children.

I've found since finding Wicca/paganism, I've become more optimistic, more patient and more calm, more forgiving. I see more how my actions and thoughts affect me and those I care for and I believe even people I barely know.  I feel like I've found where I need to be and to go.

Well this is enough for today.  Hope everyone has a great day and week. Blessed Be.
