I love that even after nearly 49 years of marriage, my Mum and Dad still hold hands when they go for a walk.
I am feeling content today. Spring is more than in the air, it has definitely sprung. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and there are flowers everywhere.
And better than all this is the news that my Mum and Dad are finally moving down to Wales. If you're a long time reader of this blog, you may remember that they were originally supposed to be moving down in the autumn of 2007. Unfortunately that was when the economy started to take a nose-dive. The chain of buyers broke and Mum and Dad then suffered a long string of disappointments, before deciding just a month ago that there was no point trying to sell until the housing markets picked up again. They took the house off the market and resigned themselves to staying put in Essex for the time being.
That was when the miracle occurred. One of the couples who had wanted to buy Mum and Dad's house but couldn't find a buyer for their own, rang up out of the blue to say they had managed to find a buyer after all. Like a line of dominoes, everything suddenly fell into place. There are only four links in the chain of buyers, and it is hoped they could be moved by as early as the end of May!
They came down this weekend to see the new house again and get the survey done (it was lovely to see them and spend time together). It all seems to be going full speed ahead. We are all amazed and happy.
Isn't it weird that often when you let go of something you've been trying to make happen it just all falls into place on its own? Miracles do happen sometimes. Thank you, Multiverse!

I believe in everyday miracles, I do, and in the timing of things, too.
Even the process of getting to the point of letting go is miraculous. Sometimes I think we do need to hang on tight for awhile. I don't know why but sometimes it's necessary.
See? This is exactly why I can never be a Buddhist.
Congrats!
Love the new blog header photo!
I hope it all goes well for your parents!
how lovely, its all fallen into place!
i have to say it was great to move back to the new forest and my family~there is something to be said about being close to family
Can i just say that 'Milk' should have a magnet with your mum and dad on it. They are just gorgeous - even from the back! And yes, the Goddess certainly moves in mysterious ways.
