This was the worst week in years at the salon. And seems, all is slow in many salons. Spring Break, taxes, who knows? My back hurt, my hopes were sagging.
The slow week was good for me, though. I get cocky and a bit prideful when my schedule stays jammed for months on end. My assistant told me she noticed I was kinder and more friendly with all my clients. Shame it takes lack for me to be more gracious and grateful. God help me, I am so human.
Good set up for a breakthrough. You know, the old adage that the darkest hour is before dawn?
(Daughter and L)
Daughter and new beau coming with us.
"I want to be ON the road by 7:00!" I live on schedules.
Schedule interrupted. . . we got an offer on Country Estate. A very good offer, by our neighbor's best friends. This will be the first sale for my daughter in her new real estate career.
And this will take all the financial stress off my back. (Good-bye pain?) We can pay off wedding credit card, the house we live in, medical bills, NO DEBT. It has been a long eleven years without my husband's fat income. He grieves he cannot contribute more.
Because of his hard work, Country Estate looks pristine.
I have to say, I have fallen in love with all my readers. You all are great. Kind, caring, compassionate. Surely your words are prayers circling the throne of Grace for me. You broaden my view, enlarge my vision and warm my heart.
When Country Estate closes, please pop a bottle of bubbly and drink. . . drink to friendship and love, drink to your own goodness. And I will drink to yours.
