1853 Wine Cellar Video Tour and Honest Ramblings

cog·ni·tive dis·so·nance
noun [PSYCHOLOGY]: the mental stress or discomfort experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values; when performing an action that contradicts existing beliefs, ideas, or values; or when confronted with new information that contradicts existing beliefs, ideas, and values.

Hello readers! Going all pyscho on you today (pyschological that is, not psychotic). I seem to be spending a lot of time in my head. So many changes going on and transitions that need to happen and I feel stuck in limbo. The one foremost on my mind that I was supposed to put out of my mind (self mandate) is the fact that I’m ready to move but our house hasn’t sold. A couple of probable sales that turned out to be no sales have left me weary of the process.

The cognitive dissonance is perpetuated when i get online and look at houses for sale (not 5 times a day) even though ours isn’t under contract and I can’t seem to stop myself. Where’s self-control when I need it?!

Cognitive dissonance is sort of like that scripture that says:

“For what I am doing, I do not understand.
For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.”
Romans 7:15

Getting it all out here on the blog might help.
Truthfully the best help is to keep my mind renewed and I’m doing that too. Sometimes.

As long as we’re on the subject of my house, I’d like to share a video tour of our wine cellar that I put together. I’m also including a link to the house listing if you’d care to check it out and share.

I hope you enjoy your weekend. I’ll be enjoying a pedicure and some friend time.

  1. I am right there with you. I too have found a few homes and look on Realtor.com several times a day too even with ours not under contract yet. It is hard not to do. We have some peeps that have come through that loved the house but are not ready to buy just yet!!!
    Don’t you love that. Hey if you find something you love then what is the hold up. I feel for you with the selling part we are in the same boat. Having people come through and say things about your decor instead of the house is hard to deal with too. Hang in there when the right buyer comes along you will sell your beautiful home. Oh my I looked at the listing what a great price on that beautiful home. Wow here in Illinois you could not touch a great home like that for that price. I know you will sell soon. I keep telling myself the same thing after each showing on our place! I totally understand that feeling of living in limbo too. Not being settled is hard. Keeping my prayers going for you that you find the right buyer soon.
    Hugs,

    1. I actually thought about you, Kris, as I wrote this post, knowing you’re going through it too, but also all the disappointment you faced while waiting for your hubs to get his job. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, right?
