The Power of Thought

Tomorrow we have another person coming to see the house (the one that is for sale).
The Catholic tradition is to get a St Joseph statue and dig a hole and put it upside down in the dirt in your back yard.  
1.  I don't have a St Joseph statue (I asked my neighbor Julie if I could 'carve' one out of a cucumber and just call it St Joe and just stick in outside upside down in my compost bin) - she looked at me with a stunned expression.  I was serious.
2. I'm not convinced that it actually works

I am thinking that I've read a lot lately about positive thinking and that just by thinking really, really hard about something that you can make it happen.  So I figured that if I thought about getting an offer on the house this week and the rest of you who read the blog could think about it for say 1 minute- then maybe that's all that the St Joseph statue ritual was all about in the first place.  Positive thought.  

All right-- let's see what happens.

I opened my valves to you selling your house. I hope it worked.

The valve thing is imprecise. I may have caused a giant cypress tree to crack in half and fall into our yard,taking two large branches of a live oak with it and narrowly missing our own house.

...The valve god may have only gotten the idea of "get rid of an old house"

See what you did? I think you got the wrong valve.
