Day 25

They knew they were breaking a rule before they broke it. Were they sorry? Yes, but they were most likely sorry for getting caught. They knew they did something wrong and my love them could help them not make the same decision again. Easy forgiveness. My circumstances today are different. I’m trying to figure ou...

Day 97

 As usual, life has ups and downs. The people buying my house have to sell theirs first so my sale is contingent. My contract says I can entertain back up offers. I am doing that now!
