The Happening of Our Daily Lives
|
It's been a long, stressful year (well 13+ months, but who's counting?) waiting for our house to sell. It was a depressed economy and housing market so things moved slower than slow, even though we had a gorgeous spot on the edge of the ocean. The sunrises were spectacular with never the same picture two days in a row. Rainbows and double rainbows over the ocean were quite common and so vibrant and bright. Moon rises the same and as they reflected on the ocean, well simply gorgeous. Moose and other wildlife were part of our daily lives and we'd quite often have visits from a great variety of various creatures. Whales were a common sight too so wonderful to watch them in their natural habitat, spouting and breaching as they swam and frolicked in their ocean playground -- really no words to describe it all.
Over the year, we had a few offers but for one reason or another, they always fell through. On top of it all, the locals who lived there did not have the same appreciation for the beauty of the area as most others do. There were other differences too and to put it mildly, it was difficult to live in a place with such a different culture and outlook on life in general. It was a hard decision to make and equally as difficult to give our little spot with the breath-taking views. We know we will never have another spot like it. For the most part, that's ok as we hope to travel to many different oceans and see what they all have to offer. Once returning to our new home, we needed a week or so to catch our breath and regroup. Loose ends to tie up as well as wait for the moving truck with our items. We're choosing (or should that be trying) to not look back with regret but forward with anticipation.
