ask the universe

So.

A couple of days I wrote here that we were struggling with finding a suitable static for temporary accomodation.

My final sentence was "hoping patience pays off here too."

I sat and visualised what we would need to keep us all warm and dry.  Nothing fancy, nothing earth shattering just simple and clean.

I placed an advert on Gumtree.  After my homebrew luck, you never know.

Four days went by and I got the little email sent by Gumtree reminding me that no one had replied to my ad, and perhaps I should pay a little bit of cash to make it more promienent.  I could see how this would work if you were trying to sell a car, but not for my particular situation.

Then, late one night I got a text message. I will forever read that text message both aloud and in my head with a booming God-like voice.  It was simple enough, just asking me if I had thought to check the freebies section on Gumtree.

It hadn't occured to me at all....can you see where this post is going?

Turns out that somone a couple of hours north of us was giving away a static that would suit us perfectly, and so after a few back and fourth emails we are the thrilled new owners of a static, which has only cost me a transportation fee.

I tell you with absolute certaintanty.  If you want something and your reasons are good and pure, then the Universe listens, and makes it happen.

I am learning now that the frustratons of past endeavours in to land buying were all part of the learning process.  It was a test to see how much we really wanted this, to see if we would keep on and on.

Our long term vision for this little place is to open it up and share it with people, and with this sharing  ethos at the centre of what we want to do...I firmly believe that the universe is listening.  And helping.
