This week the electrician was here to do the rest of the outlets and ceiling lights and to install the ovens. The carpenter put all of the trim on the walls, installed the pocket door in the bathroom, the transom window above the ovens, and the pulls on the cabinet doors. We had an issue with the refrigerator doors. We had purchased an electrolux refrigerator and the doors protruded much more than desired so that when they opened they were hitting the cabinetry. We decided to get a different refrigerator to solve all of the problems, and we bought a Miele built-in instead. We have to wait until the end of this week for it to be delivered. But now the cabinet above the refrigerator is useless because the Miele refrigerator is a lot taller. There will be a decorative panel above the refrigerator instead of a cabinet.
For the first 50 years of my life, my perfectionist self mistakenly believed it was all about knowing more, getting it right, planning, attempting to prevent bad things from happening, and keeping all of my chicks in a row. It took me this long to discover that the JOURNEY is all that matters. This quote from Gilda Radner sums it all up:
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. "
