Sometimes the fear is in making the wrong choice, but what does that mean, really? Wouldn't it be better if we said we made a "different" choice! In a way, it is like "the road less traveled", don't you think?<br /><br />I don't know about you, but I am grateful my friends have not gotten up and walked away from time to time. I am sure glad I have made the decision to stick with some of them when they have struggled...I have learned from it, too. So while I admire and even study a lot of Native American lore (it is a part of my heritage), I also know that some of the thought processes were specific to time and place!<br /><br />Hang in there...and we will be here when you need us!KimHttp://kimrodefferfunk.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-61444786694724213022010-04-14T15:42:13.629-04:002010-04-14T15:42:13.629-04:00I am missing something here - what, dear Suki - is...I am missing something here - what, dear Suki - is your dilemma?

There were so many fears I had to face...can I deal with the upkeep, will it take all my money to do so, is it too small or too big, will I have enough money left over to have fun as well as own a house...those are just a few of the questions that ran through my mind. It was a hurdle, for sure.<br /><br />But somewhere along the line, I had to stand and face my fears, since I had a lease to sign if I did not make a move to ...somewhere.<br /><br />I found a house and bought it almost immediately when my back was against the wall like that. I bought it with all its warts, at that point either living with what I didn't like or changing what I could.<br /><br />You'll find a house, Suki, and you'll get over your personal hurdle.
