Good Thoughts, Please!
Nov. 9th, 2006 01:33 pmI'm usually not one to ask for good thoughts, prayers, or wishes. I believe in them, and their power, but I tend to prefer to do something, even something obscure or useless, than ask other people for intangible help.
On the other hand, I don't think I've ever encountered something before that I wanted this much, and at the same time had absolutely no ability to affect the outcome myself at all.
You see, there's this house my sweetie and I have had our eyes on for a while. But by the time we were able to actually get our ducks in a row to make an offer on it, someone else had beaten us to it. We made a backup offer, but were told that this was mostly just so that we could feel, in our heart of hearts, that we had tried - the odds of actually getting the house were virtually nil.
Except.... it seems that things aren't going too smoothly with the current offer. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but apparently we're not out of the running yet.
So - I won't ask for anyone to hope bad things for the current offer-ers. I believe in karma way too much for that. But if y'all could spare a thought or a hope that maybe the current offer falls through because there's something even better and more splendid and perfect for them waiting in the next town over or the next house they visit, and that my sweetie and I get our offer accepted, I'd be endlessly grateful. I'd even invite you over for cookies and games in the shiny new home.....
