Disappointed

Why is it, that even when a decision makes sense and is the right thing to do, there is still this period of mourning what was lost? We decided to take the house off the market. It was my feeling that we really shouldn't sell right now, but I knew that if it happened it would also be fine. Then we got an offer on our house and started working the numbers more seriously because this time it wasn't just talk, we could really sell our house.  It just didn't make sense...at all. Writing it all out I am starting to feel less sad about the loss of opportunity and more hope for the future.  Who knows what will happen in the next few months, raises, school, work, maybe even the house we want will become even cheaper! That's a grand idea.  I think I will be a little sad if it didn't work out that way though, if prices and interest rates sky rocket all of the sudden, someone buys the lot we wanted and there's no where to go, but I suppose that would be that negative guy sneaking into my thoughts again.  GO AWAY YOU! It will be fine.
