Looking Back

Early in the morning today dropped for a few minutes to my apartment.... I walked silently from room to room. It  brings me joy and yet a little sadness thinking about  memories I have lingering in each room. Although I never stayed to long in it I have collected quite a lot of memories in 5years. 

Looking Back....

We knew that we would not be able to live in it for a couple of years, but yet we considered it our home. It was what Cassidy and I both wanted and wished for. We had an obstacle so what!? we will over come this as well.

One day after talking to the architect and the builder to evaluate the costs to fix the damage, we both agreed to make a few changes to the structure while the ceiling was being fixed and replaced!. So with much motivation and hope we sat with a pencil and papers and started to rebuild our dream home from scratch! This is a nice memory I have, Cassidy and me were in perfect symphony, we both knew what we wanted, and if what we wanted was not possible to achieve, well.... it didn't really matter we had each other and that was enough for us.
So after a few weeks of hectic days at work and struggling days trying to meet our crazy ideas and evaluating the possibility that the crazy ideas would be approved by the architect..even tough many times we made him rise an eyebrow!.
 We sat a date for the works to begin!. Ideally it had to be in summer so that there is less chances of rain, and usually weather holds over here..the dry season is really DRY!! as for almost 3 months it doesn't rain at all...not even a single drop!!.
And that happened, we sat the starting date for June!. On the day that the works had to start I was awakened by a very loud noise! rushed out of bed at around 5am in the morning...opened my bedroom window...and I could not believe my eyes...a thunderstorm was on!! I remember it was hot like hell but yet it rained cats and dogs!... minutes later I received a call from the builder saying that he would remind the works for next week just to be sure that weather holds!. And that is what happened....but guess mother nature didn't want us to start the week after either..as heavens opened again on the day!. I did not discourage my self and planed an other day this time studied all weather forecasts possible! so that I would be sure, didn't want any more delays. We were already 3 weeks behind schedule!  But destiny played with us again and on the day even tough all weather forecasts planed a sunny week....it rained and rained....
There I said to my self...something is wrong guess better leave it for next year...at least we will be able to save a little more cash...and perhaps do more of the work next year....at least we thought...

  1. The most important thing to retain is the effort you put on your dream!

    You surely gave your best to turn it true, so you should be proud of yourself!

    Destiny plays in a level we can't compete...thats true indeed... *sigh*

    However, Destiny tends to do what's best for us, even if we think at the moment that's not true...so many questions come to mind...but, with time, many of these questions get an answer. It may not be the answer we want, but, who knows?

    Sometimes, the best for us is not the best for all the parts involved i guess...and maybe that's one reason for things don't happen the way we would like it to happen more often.
