Just attended the mortgage closing on a Habitat house. Nice to see the homeowners finally "owning" the house. The figures changed right up to a half-hour before everything was signed, but that was the lawyers' headaches, not mine, so I guess my good 13th was the yin to their yan.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
