Moving....and standing still....
By Lynn Barry
Sunday, April 06, 2003
accepting a purchase on a home means someone is moving soon...but nowhere to go...means standing still...
Our family tried to sell our home for months and had lots of lookers but until recently, no offers to purchase.
We now have a bonafide offer and a closing date, but no where to move into yet.
Every day we look at ads and have looked at a few houses, but still have no place to move into.
Every day is one day closer to the closing.
Every day is one day closer to having to move, and yet we are standing still.
We feel as if we are in quicksand, wanting to get moving, but standing still.
Ironically, we aren't worried...what does that do; makes the standing still less enjoyable...anxiety, panic attacks...we'll stand still and when the time comes we'll move...we'll have to...and the place will be wherever it has to be...Hey, they rent storage rooms, don't they?

Lynn, this really hits home! The wife and I are selling and searching as we speak! I get the feeling we might end up sleeping in our car pretty soon!

| Sometimes standing still can bring you the peace that eludes the movers. Concise piece that says it all - well done, Lynn! |

Motels or Hotels are very expensive. A bread & breakfast place may be better. Nothing like living in your own home. Some homeowners rent
space for families, I bet you've tried everything though. Good luck! My prayers are with you and yours...........Ron |
