Making Room for New Experiences, Does it make you smile?

Do you love the real estate you own? I think we should inventory the property we own and decide if it is a positive or negative asset. We own a piece of property I have started to dislike. It feels more like a liability than an asset. Could that mean it's time to sell? It definately means it's time to evaluate.
Just like on a personal note: Getting rid of clutter is the beginning of making room for new experiences. Opening up space, mentally, physically and spiritually. Just by clearing off a pile of clutter and replacing that location with something I enjoy, brings a type of new life to the room and to my life.
During a conversation with a friend about my quest to clear clutter from my life, she said, "If it doesn't make you smile, get rid of it."
I can look over at a formerly cluttered counter and see a beautiful orchid growing happily and sharing it's joy with those who pass by. A definate SMILE.

Problems: Learn from them, they are good teachers.

A property we sold, just fell out of escrow. Why?
We are evaluating the way we accepted an offer from someone with pretty bad credit, but a super desire to own the property. They hoped their enthusiasm to own this property would overcome the credit problem, we did too. But it didn't.
Challenges like these can be used to guide us into improvment, that's progress. Everyone has problems, but not everyone takes the time to learn from the them ... they are good teachers.
It's the last day of Janaury 2011, the first month of the new year is coming to a close. Am I happy with how January went? Yes!
