The New Dealer Cards Is Fate
It seems as if fate itself has crossed
my path once again
This time with the complete polar
opposite cards in tow
Offering me the same deal but this
time in reverse
When 1st he came he set in motion
the opportunity and circumstances
I was enabled to buy my grandad and
mother's family home
Now recently as this past week
circumstances have changed and
what began as an initial thought or
contemplation of selling has morphed
into an actual plausible reality
A house on our road someone bought in
order to fix up to sell on but decided instead
to give it to his son to move into
So out of curiosity I thought id ask him
if he was interested in buying mine and
the next morning he came a knocking
at my door
He came inside took 1 look around and
asked me what price I wanted for it
went away only for a little while later
to tell me
Yes he wanted to buy it all I had to do
was give him the go ahead and he would
get the ball rolling straight away
So from an inkling of a thought in less
than 3 days I have gone from thought
to having to make my mind up and
a life changing decision
And am I supposed to or should I take
all of these occurrences falling into place
somehow as a sign , serendipity or good luck
Destiny or fate either way it looks as if a
massive life change in my future is a foot
I like and much prefer change rather than
the every day norm as it offers little in
the form of excitement and something
to look forward to
I just hope I am not about to make a
monumental mistake that I will come
to regret
But hey as they say nothing ventured
nothing gained
And at least I won't have to spend any time
wondering what would have happened
if I hadn't tried it or given it a go
Bonus is I get to keep all of my most
precious treasured memories as
they aren't up for sale I get to keep for life
Whereas a house that doesn't feel like a home
anymore is merely bricks and mortar
