I know about 2 hours or so ago...I posted I am grateful that I remembered "this too shall pass"...And deep down I know that it will...I am just tired and frustrated and disappointed ....
I am trying to get my house on the market and Every Single Day something else has happened to postone it for the last 2 weeks...EVERY Single Day......and in between there has been other things...daughter's car accident, bf's abscess tooth, my sick kitty, and other drama-stupid things....
I have reached out for help...very willing to pay anything...no one shows up...or tell me they are and they don't.....
I was actually having a decent day today until the one "friend" who was supposed to show up and finish some stuff before the cleaning girls come tomorrow...NO Show and NO phone call....
The guy who was going to help me dry my basement and paint it....no call...and isn't answering....
The part that would be soooo easy for me to find at any Home Depot, hardware store...No its a special order....
I am Really trying to keep perspective...I am Really trying to remain calm...but I find myself in tears...I have a showing on Friday....with water in the basement, cabinets half painted, a broken door...a broken lock on another door...a railing that fell off the other day....
Tomorrow my bf and I have a big date planned...its been planned for 2 months...I don't even want to go...I know there is nothing more I can do...I know I need to have this fun day...But what would have been nice is to be able to go without worrying about all these loose ends...To be able to go and Really Enjoy myself without all this...And yes I know I can...really enjoy myself...its a choice...but right now I am just so overwhelmed....
I am disappointed in people who say Yes or I'll be there and not even call...I am frustrated that people can't be reliable...and I am just so tired....
God Grant me the Serenity to Accept the things I can not change
The Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference...
Thanks for listening to my vent....Love Gina
Hi Gina
sorry you are having such a frustrating time right now - trouble often seems to come in heaps doesn't it?
God does work in mysterious ways though and perhaps the delays with the house are all happening for a reason that you cannot see yet.
Its hard to just trust in God and turn it over but that's what is best to do and He will take care of it all so long as you are doing the necessary actions - he'll take care of the outcomes.
I know you know all this :)
Yup it is frustrating when people don't show up as they are told, but draw a big breath and let it go - not worth building a resentment over.
Try and take some time to do something for yourself today - even if it is just taking 15 mins to sit down and drink a yummy coffee drink in a coffee shop. Just take a mini-time out for yourself.
Love
Idgie

Thanks Idgie...<big smile>...Yes trouble does seem to come in heaps! I keep forgetting to breathe...so thanks for the reminder! And you are right Idgie there is a reason for all of this...
It hasn't killed me so it must be helping me become stronger! lol!
If it wasn't 8pm here I would have a nice cup of coffee...I still might...I have some work to get done before I go to bed...
It felt good to vent this all out...
Thanks...{{{HUGS}}} Love Gina

Hi Gina,
I hope you managed to ease away all that stress and have a really lovely day today without it going with you!
Love Lacey.

Morning Gina...
I hope today that you have woke up and the day is a bit brighter...I've noticed for me, life comes in waves sometimes and when that happens, I try to stay focused on what is right in front of me so that I don't become overwhelmed...I love that saying, keep it simple....God will take care of everything but it's in his time, not mine and I know when things are uncertain, I start to go into fear then it's time to start praying and keep praying...I ask God to help me see what footwork I need to do and then I pray that I can let go, and let him have the results...
Sweetie, breathe....it is all going to be okay...I know it's probably some fear based as you are making some big changes in your life right now but they are good changes and God hasn't brought you this far just to drop you.....
I hope you have an awesome date today....Let yourself enjoy today and I'm sending prayers out right now....
Love ya,
Stacey

Yes breathe...I forget that sometimes...and to just surrender...And I did....
Dan and I had a terrific day Thurs in Philly...with the exception of a pricey parking ticket and a dead car battery...we had a wonderful day......
Things do come in waves...this one just happened to be a big seemingly never-ending one but I decided to just ride it and have faith that God will bring me to shore....
The sun is finally out here and the weather absolutely beautiful!
I know right now I am in transition...and I just have to go with it.....It has been unbalancing to me...
I feel a lot better...serene...and more myself...I stopped "fighting" it all....and went back to "it is what it is" and I am doing all I can the best I can TODAY...
Thank you...Love Gina

Good for you - another triumph it sounds by the way you dealt with what could have bought you down.
Glad you had a brilliant day, I had been wondering actually whether it went ok!!
