I’m struggling to keep a positive attitude about selling the house and leaving Moscow. I’m sure everything is going as it should, just not as I would prefer. John and I want to leave now. There are still a bunch of things to clear out, though. I’m trying to motivate myself to clear out the garage. John cut down a couple dead trees yesterday. We’ll have to pay someone to cut down the biggest. We’re also working to find someone to put on a new roof.

I don’t want to be here on my birthday, which is two weeks away. I know I shouldn’t focus on what I don’t want, only on what I want. I need to psyche myself up.

Our buyer fell through. I’m sure the right person will come along soon. Maybe not soon enough for John, but soon enough. I trust there’s a purpose to the delay. I plan to relax today. We had an up and down week last week, and we’ll have another up, followed by another up, and another up . . .

This time last week, we were between back-to-back open houses because of the paper’s mistake. Saturday we had 4 lookers as a result of the incorrect newspaper ad, none seemed very interested. Sunday brought 4 more lookers, from web listings, who were much more interested.

One guy wanted to make an offer that day. He didn’t quite understand the process. He said he was pre-approved for a VA loan. A couple came back Monday for another look. Their agent told us to expect an offer, but they changed their minds. We officially rejected the VA offer Tuesday.

Wednesday morning a lady looked at the house after seeing my Craigslist ad. She returned Thursday and made an offer. We countered and she accepted. She is the new Vice Provost at UI and moved to Moscow 6 months ago. We have an agreement to sign and get to the title company before an inspection Tuesday.

This may be John’s last week at UI!

from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy

Infinite Intelligence attracts to me the buyer for this home who wants it and who prospers in it. This buyer is being sent to me by the creative intelligence of my subconscious mind which makes no mistakes. This buyer may look at many homes, but mine is the only one he/she wants and will buy because he is guided by Infinite Intelligence within him/her. I know the buyer is right, the time is right, and the price is right. The deeper currents of my subconscious mind are now in operation bringing both of us together in divine order. I know that it is so.
