So...what happened?
An opportunity...slipped away. I had to ask "why?".
As it turns out, the "why" was because I wasn't ready for it yet.
Or, it wasn't ready for me.
Whichever.
So, I wondered, what should I be doing now? Answer: whatever you were supposed to be doing if the opportunity had never arisen.
I am doing just that. The new (old) plan has three parts:
- Continue to increase my church activity and service.
- Get my financial house in order.
- Lighten my accumulation of "STUFF".
I'd love to sell off Granpa's stuff that's still filling up the garage and the shop. But both L and her Mom have made it clear that particular Albatross is going to be more or less permanent. I'll be long gone from here before any of Hendrik's junk is.
