Closing

I finally closed on the sale of my house this week. The buyers took possession of the house and I took possession of their money. I was in there several times this week doing some last minute clean up. I felt sad as I prepared to leave the house for the last time - it was the first house I'd bought and I'd lived in it for eight of the nine years that I owned it, so there were a lot of memories, good and bad, associated with it. However, this is an opportunity for me to leave behind the ghosts of my past and to get ready for the next phase of my life.
