Today Nothing Happened.

       Today nothing happened. Well, nothing that I know of any way. I spent the day working on the computer promoting my book. I am a bit tired. Even though I had a nice day and still felt appreciation for most everything, I am also slightly discouraged. I had begun to expect amazing occurrences every single day.

       We have had several people look at my mother’s house but have seen no serious interest, yet. The date we set for the sale was the 15th of this month, so that I would have time to help her pack and move before I left town. Every time someone new comes to look and they seem interested, I start thinking about the money I am going to get from my mom, as commission for helping her sell the house. I admit that I have been looking to that circumstance as the way to meet my goal.
       I have to remind myself that my job is not to figure out where the money will come from, but to know that it will come and be in gratitude already. I do feel that frequently, just not now.
      I got an email from my daughter, Chelsea, today. She is looking forward to my arrival, to get her out of Puerto Viejo and away from her boyfriend for a while. Oh, he is a great guy, but the circumstances of their lives right now put lots of pressure on both of them and that has created conflict. If she had money she would be living on her own but she is absolutely dependent on him and that is not good for her. I want this venture to succeed so I can support us both for a while but also so I can set an example and show her the power of intention. In Puerto Viejo there is a strong poverty mentality, which many people buy into. That is not hard to understand. Non citizens cannot work legally but legal or not, the wages are low. It is easy for someone to get caught up in this way of thinking if they know no other way.
       Well, I think it is time for me to take a break from this keyboard and get some good sleep. Tomorrow I will be filled with renewed positive energy and the vision of more good things to come.
