The Saga Continues.

If anyone can believe it, days away from beginning the septic project, everything stopped. What happened is that an easement stipulation was overlooked by the engineer and after having the property surveyed, the septic mound won't fit.

Now we are back to the drawing board and back to waiting. We will now be getting a drip disposal field or something like that. It will take another week to design, the county still has to approve it, and the supplies will take 2 weeks to order. Then, if we are lucky the system will be built. Now won't that be darned excited. We only hope to move in before the rains begin, since it doesn't yet have its new roof. And yup, it needs one.

Today we went out to our "almost ours" home. We are waiting for our alternative septic to be completed and I can tell you it has been the longest wait ever. Ten months and counting. Today the company came out and we now have about four new holes dug in the yard. I found out that instead of two weeks it will take at least four. Another month...

What has Heart and Meaning for me today?

I am still sitting in the space of reflection after speaking yesterday at the funeral of a client and friend. I am also preparing to close escrow on our house that we have been waiting for since October of 2005. It's impossible to believe that our dream move could take so long but it has. We are now looking towards an August 22, 2006 closing date. This is a vision in the making (a long one) but it's got tons of heart and tons of meaning for me.

So, tonight I sit in gratitude and look at all that life brings and just say "thank you."
