How much room would it have taken to turn the Titanic around? How many square miles ? How long would it take?
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
It's the easiest way that I've found ...
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around.
The Willis Brothers 1964
The weekend is done and gone. And the sun is up, just as predicted. And it' also Monday, which was also expected. The precision and order of the universe is a marvel. I bet tomorrow is Tuesday, and it will be here right on time too. Amazing really.
And they talk about a big bang...heh heh....I don't know about you, but the last thing I notice about a big bang ...is order and precision.
Just a thought is all. Don't get yer panties in a wad if ya happen to disagree. I really don't care what you think anyway.You have the freedom to think any old way ya want to, and that's fine with me.
This past weekend, which was so accurately predicted, surely did happen. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, came and went just as they predicted on the weather channel, and a few other places as well. It is a good thing days like that are so predictable or those guys would have a much harder job. And the folks who make calendars...well....that would seem to make that a pretty difficult job too.
I am glad that weekend did show up, because I wouldn't have known what to do had it failed to materialize.
For instance, I would have never been able to go through the hard part of this changing world of mine. But it did show up, and I did go through it. So did all those around me. I am glad it showed up, but I am even more glad it is gone. It was a tough weekend.
I feel like I have two dice in my head, and when ever I move my head, the combination changes.
Each number of dots, on each side, represent a segment of my world in which important and life changing decisions are located.
As an example: The side with 6 dots may represent the shop....and each dot is a problem that is waiting to be solved.
And the side with 5 dots, represents the problems and issues I have with my home and it's pending sale, including moving, cleaning, listing and a whole host of other issues. Picking up dog poop has essentially been eliminated from the problem list, but finding time to mow the lawn is still an issue.
So on and so on, all the sides of both die constantly tumbling around inside my head. I barely get enough time to pick an issue to think about, and suddenly it changes, and another one raises it's ugly head.
However...I write all this ....to say this.....
The hardest part is done. It came about this past weekend, and like I said, I am glad it is past.
My house, even though I filled a giant Uhaul truck with stuff, is still quite full of.....yep....stuff.
I could, and maybe should, have the Mother of All Garage Sales.
But I just can't.
I am giving it away.
I can not do everything...if I try to have a garage sale at the house, the store is closed.
So it is feeling good giving stuff to folks who really can use it.
And some of it I am trading for work. And so it is helping me, while making others happy.
I do have a few select things I am going to bring to the store and sell. Some of the nicer pieces of furniture and what not.
But no garage sales for this guy. When I do have my garage sale, I will really sell the garage, which happens to have a house attached. Buy the garage, and get the house free.
Things are turning around.;....I can feel it.
Hope and even a little excitement seems to be in the air. Or maybe it's just the panicky sort of thought of knowing winter is coming. 
Thanks to all of you for your support and kind words. I really do appreciate you all very much.
I am looking forward.....not too far mind ya... ( because of the winter thing ) ..but forward it is, with faith and a knowledge that things are under control. And that there is a plan, and it will be revealed day by day, moment by moment, person by person....
I have nothing to fear. And so I don't. After all, I still intend on bringing both my soup pots to the new digs. Like I said....Winter is coming, and it is not as far off as ya might think. And when it does get here, you will be able to stop by the shop, take a guitar down off the wall, and we'll have a little jam and maybe a hot bowl of soup with some fresh baked bread.....And hey! .....if ya buy the guitar I'll give ya a free bottle of Pinotage.....but only if you share....  
Because I will be here all the time....and time will be on my side again....like it used to be.

Only one place to go now and that is up. You have been through the darkest and now it is time for the sun to shine for you. It will take time, but with the help and love of your friends you will come out of this feeling so much better about life. You will be amazed at how strong and empowered you will feel. You will also have the knowledge that you can face anything that comes your way. Good luck with your journey.

I guess I've been totally out of the loop. I didn't know you were selling your house. Where you headed? Great writing, there's tunes in them there words. :-)
Like you with the dice in your head... how can anyone? I mean anyone play craps?
I don't understand the rules and it feels like my head is rolling around on the table. 
Your window is open and I am so happy for you

I hate having garage sales too!  Because I hate to put a price on stuff that really only has a value to me..here's what I do! The better more expensive stuff I make a list and post it around town on various free boards. The rest I sort through, fondly remember why I had to have it, ask myself if I'll ever really use(usually not). Then I carry it down to the street the day before garbage pick-up and put a Free sign on it. Usually come morning very little of the worthy items are left. I send my kid out the next morning to throw what's left in garbage bags....so I won't be tempted to carry it back in the house. It works...and I bet folks are talking about the amazing finds they got for free. One persons trash really is another treasure so they can have it. I'll get more!

One time, I was on my way to work. As I drove down the road, all of a sudden, out of the blue, I started sliding!!  The back end of my car started sliding towards the ditch, and my first thought was HANG ON.. YER GOING IN THE DITCH!!! ..My second thought was, NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT!!! 
I fought it.. and came out of it.. and didn't end up in the ditch after all!!
another time..
My sister had gone back to school (college after many yrs)
She was going to quit.. said she was too dumb..
I told her.. hang in there.. give it your best shot..
there is nothing wrong with failing,
as long as you give it your best shot..
but if you don't try..
you'll never know if you could..
she didn't pass with A's.. but she did pass and got her license..
guess what I am trying to say is..
never go down with out a fight to the end..
Will always keep you in my prayers..
and will always be here for you to bend my ears..
