40--ness

Someone I know turns 40 today!

Happy birthday to you!

Out and about in the area listening to wonderful stories and realising that the day is near when our department is completely privitised. (hmm should that be a z?)

A wonderfully kind and sweet woman told me the best story today and I will tell you.

This lady is widowed not even a year and what a year!
She has had health issues that seem relatively benign but have come in clusters.
Right now she is feeling well but a tiny bit fearful.

The home is up on a bluff with a view that is truly gorgeous.
It is still a place where the average lot is 1/2 acre or larger.
I complimented her on fabulous taste for a retirement site.
I said: "You know, this place has such good energy. You can feel the harmony and happiness here."
(You really can!)

"Let me tell you the story of this place!"
I found it charming and I hope you do too.

The fellow who used to live in the house to the left here (an olde heritage home) loved to go out fishing. There was a tiny cottage at the seashore back then where this fellow used to come stay. They went fishing together. One day the resident fellow told him he enjoyed his company so much he wanted him to stay in a trailer on his property when he came. A few years of summer fishing later the man told him he enjoyed the fishing so much he wanted to make sure his friend never had to worry about coming over and sold him the lot where the trailer was for one dollar. It was a half acre piece.

The old fellow died not long after and the friend came over fishing for many more years. The seashore cabin saw other visitors and the friend made new fishing buddies. One day the friend, too died and to the surprise of the fishing buddy he left the 1/2 acre lot, now much more valuable, to the new fishing buddy, which of course was the client's husband.

They retired and built a beautiful home on the site which they never otherwise could have afforded.

Now, THAT is good energy!
