Don't want to pack or make choices

Life is about choices.

Each choice leads to the next choice. And every choice has a consequence – either good or bad.

That's all easy to say but sometimes making a choice isn't easy.

Have you ever been in a place where you wish you could have someone else make a choice for you? Or had a crystal ball to see where your choice takes you.

Yesterday, we learned the house we are renting in Wilsonville has sold. We have to move by March 31.

I am happy for the homeowners that they sold their house. And I am happy to move as the house we are living in is too big and I am tired of cleaning every time a real estate agent calls.

What I am stressed about is what do we do next? There are hundreds of decisions to make and I don’t feel prepared to make any of them. Do we rent an apartment or a house? What about Bailey? Do we sign a year lease or a six month lease?

All those choices would be easy to make if we sell our house in Silverton. We can’t buy a house until it sells.

And it’s the house in Silverton that has me stumped. I don’t want to sign a year or even a six month contract if the house sells. Our hope is our house will sell soon and we can purchase a house here in Wilsonville.

We looked at a townhouse and an apartment today, leaving me seeing the glass half empty – rather than half full. I know I should be grateful to have a roof over my head and I shouldn’t care where I live but … not excited about moving, living in such close quarters … yes, a bad attitude.

I know I should look at this an opportunity, an adventure, a chance to do something new but right I know I have a headache.
