I sat down yesterday to make a list of all the little things (and not so little) in our house which need to be fixed and done before we can put it on the market in February.\u00a0 Many of them are all the things I had planned to slowly change and do to make this house truly ours.\u00a0 It\u2019s funny that they will be done to make it ours-no-longer.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of sad to think that we will not be the ones to benefit from all of the work we have to do.<\/p>\n
The back door that has to be closed just right, the window screen which needs to be restretched, the walls which need to be repainted\u2026.all need to be done, but why does it take someone else to do them for?\u00a0 Why don\u2019t we get right on it and fix them up for ourselves?\u00a0 We have such a small amount of\u201ddown time\u201d that we are loathe to spend it on anything which can wait for another day.\u00a0 We\u2019d rather spend time with each other.<\/p>\n
This is the way life is.\u00a0 We all work to improve the world in which we live so that the new occupants can benefit from all that we have done.\u00a0 We may never see the end result of our hard work, but those who come after us will be so glad that we invested the time and effort to do it right.<\/p>\n
Just please, somewhere in Texas, can there be someone who is making a list to make things good for us?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I sat down yesterday to make a list of all the little things (and not so little) in our house which need to be fixed and done before we can put it on the market in February.\u00a0 Many of them are all the things I had planned to slowly change and do to make this […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1979,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
