Starting in late December last year, my sweet Boo and I went, in short-order, from "talking about" moving in together to spending every Sunday going to open houses, to finding a realtor, to looking at a ton of garbage, to finding the home of our dreams, to getting approved for a mortgage, to settling, to packing, to painting, to moving in together.
How did this happen? And how did it happen so quickly?
Simple.
I stopped saying "NO" to life and started saying "yes." Or at least, "maybe." And just like that, my life unfolded, quickly, in ways I never knew could be possible.
That little place you see up there is a beast. OUR beast. 3 bedrooms. 1 full and 2 half-baths. LR, DR, home office, kitchen, breakfast nook, media room, laundry room, garage and beautifully landscaped front and backyards. And it's ours. Well, ours and JPMorgan Chases. But mostly ours.
I have never been so consistently happy in my life. I can't believe my good luck.
And you know what? I deserve it. Yes, I do. And so does my partner.
And all I had to do was to quit whining, sober up, face facts and leave myself open to "the possible."
You should do the same.
