New beginning

Today Dali and I saw the ugliest house in the world. There was no paint anywhere in the house, just gray walls, with patches of white here and there to cover up holes. There were holes on the doors and everywhere, and the house smelled like animals. The owners had two big pit bulls in the back waiting to get a piece of us. It was very small house, 800 something square feet, and did I mentioned it was the ugliest house in the world? Feels like I was walking into a drug addicted home in a very shady area. But the up side was that it was in a decent area, with a good school district. Price is not cheap (considering how ugly it was), but within our price range for a home. There are a lot of potential in the house, and we are planning to put in an offer tomorrow to see where this will go. I am nervous though. Potential is a good thing, but like myself, I realized that I have never lived up to any potential. It takes a lot of work, vision, and perseverance to follow through a dream. Maybe that's what a new beginning is all about. I was able to find pictures of what this house looked like in 2003, and it was beautiful, clean and neat. Somehow it got beat up really badly along the way, and left in its ruins. But the journey does not end here, I hope not.
