It's been forever since I wrote on the blog. I have had lots to reflect on but no time to do it. We moved and have been getting oriented in the new home. Speaking of reflecting, let me first chime in on this move. I searched and searched and searched for a place on the eastside of Seattle. No home made me happy. Many came close but none fit the bill. As the days passed, I resigned to one of them. However, the water in my stomach just didn't settle. Then, one day, I flipped, somersaulted, a complete 360 degrees and decided that it was time to live in Seattle. The reasons are not important. What is though, is that it came in a flash and when it did, it made complete sense. We searched for homes over the internet one evening and settled for a short list of 5 homes to look at the next day. We saw only 2, the second one being the one we are in now. It seems ironic that weeks of search had yielded options that never felt right. And, then, in 24 hours we found the perfect option.
After the first walk through our current home, we just knew it was the one. It just felt right. And, that is the key learning for me. When it comes to big decisions, it isn't mind-wrecking analysis that yields answers. Instead, it needs to feel right and when the perfect option appears, our thin-slicing brain (Blink, anyone?) knows it!
