something I am grateful for today

It's Closing Day on the old house.

Yesterday afternoon we signed the final sale papers** and turned in our keys. Our lawyer told us the money should be in our account this afternoon or Monday at the latest. This mornin I went by the old place and dropped off a housewarming gift for our buyers who should be showing up there this afternoon.

It's all happening for real!

**there were many papers covering all kindsa sutff. For instance:
Apparently there is a guy named John MacLeod who owes $1000 from a driver's insurance violation in 1992. I had to sign a paper swearing that I'm not that guy, otherwise they would try and take the $1000 out of the money we're getting for selling the house today. Who knew?

something else I am grateful for today

Today I had a Moment®.

Hunter's at school, Paisley's in Barrie visiting her fella. Sharon and I have the day off. Sharon is having a nap. I'm wallowing in solitude, listening to some nice seasonal music and looking outside at the snow -- which is falling in sparse gentle huge flakes, like on a Christmas special. There is nothing I'm supposed to be doing or thinking about right now. Everything is peaceful and serene.

That's the kind of Moment® you gotta savour while you have it... roll it around in your mouth and make sure you notice and appreciate every facet of it. So I did.
