I think over the past four months of trying to sell our house, and I feel exhausted. It is demoralizing to have people come into your home, that you feel is so beautiful and homey, and they paw through your stuff, and they tell us our house is lacking. "it's to old", "it has a small backyard", even though I know in my brain that my house is beautiful, I still doubt myself. I keep doing improvements. I have refinished the wood cabinets in every bathroom, hallway and kitchen. Gardening in a backyard that I know will not benifit me in the long run. Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Waking up on Sunday morning, knowing you have to get dressed and straighten up, in case someone calls to view it. I always dreamed of having a really clean house all the time, now I long for a house with newspapers on the table, glasses half full beside a chair. Books and magazines out for viewing, pictures of my family on my walls.
Now for the positive side. I have a beautiful house in California and North Carolina. My entire family is healthy and happy. We have a baby grandniece or nephew on the way, we will be at a family wedding in June, and I can fill my arms full of babies. I will be able to spend time with my favorite person, my beautiful and wonderfully kind sister, Mary. I will be with my wonderful daughter is is up for any kind of adventure. My two wonderful brothers will be there and that is always a treat. All my sisters kids will be there, and that is a huge treat all on its own, but now they have spouses that are to die for. My life is so blessed that it fills my chest up with emotion.
For those people out there reading this, can you name some things you are thankful for??

I am thankful for my family all of them

Your house is beautiful and it will sell but you already know that just keep up the positive thinking and it will all work out. I agree family is what it is all about and being with them.
