To finally, this:
My life has evolved almost full circle and along the way stops (houses), I've learned a few things:
Easier to take care of things up front, than have the burden of overcoming years of ineptness and carelessness
Easier to meet new neighbors by having a BBQ than hope they'll stop on over with pie
And last:
it's not the size of the house, or the size of the paycheck, or the number of fancy vehicles one owns,
it is the size of the heart that counts.

Amen to your life lessons.
I did laugh at the bbq versus pie suggestion. A few years ago, a new couple moved in across the street and my wife baked them a pie as a welcome to the neighborhood. I love the Mrs. dearly, but she is not the greatest cook (she will admit this as well)--so I was a little nervous. Anyway, the folks gave her an A+ for effort and we have remained close friends with them even though they later moved a few towns away. The biggest perk has been that the guy's wife is a fantastic cook and we enjoyed many bbqs and dinners over there.
Ok, good post and sorry to tangent...
