Good morning @sueinmn, So you are the lady with "strong determination"? Yes ma'am. We have a member of our sangha who has the strongest determination we have seen. I'm not that good.

I also remember my realtor wanted to call in estate liquidators and I just told my friends Chris and GiGi to get going.....let's give it all away. I don't want to see something selling for $50 that I paid $500 for. I would rather give it to someone who pays more than $500 in attention and appreciation of the piece.

You got me though......when you mentioned elevator. I was given a gift by the benefactors for the community center. It was for all of my marketing efforts for six or seven years and "get ready"....................you saw it here.........it was an elevator. I had 16 steps and then I had none. Guess who joyfully went to the garage to get anything or reset the sprinklers when the water became less available as summer wore on? I did. And now guess what I miss the most.....yep....my elevator. However, the brother and sister who bought the house were delighted that their 92-year-old mother would be able to live in the mountains because of my elevator. I even left them an amazing built-in video wall and a flat-screen TV so that their Mom would have entertainment on demand. That made my heart sing too.

What do we leave behind when the time comes.....only our legacy. And I wanted mine to be about loving-kindness and compassion. Still working on it.

May you have the happiest of days.
Chris
