When we lived in Upstate NY, my husband and I used to go to live antique (and junk) auctions and they were a blast. It was exhilarating to raise a paper plate with my auction number written on it in feverish competition with other bidders, all while trying to land the best deal.
Well, last night I dove into last minute bidding on a couple pairs of snowshoes I'd had my eyes on. But I was outbid and ran out of time on each. But then suddenly, I had a second chance. The seller gave me the opportunity to purchase a pair at my last bid price. I jumped on that second chance even though I'd been given 2 days to think it over. I realized this is much better. No competition, no getting caught up in the moment of bidding, no pressure!
Amen?
Have a blessed day,
Jenna

Yay! You got the snowshoes! I grew up in Michigan and now live in Northern Ohio, so I know how important it is to have reasons to get outside in the winter! (I say this as we have a snow day and my dog is curled up in my arms.) Enjoy them!
Hi Jill! I tried snowshoeing last winter with rentals and loved it. I really wanted a pair, but didn't want to pay full price. LOL. It took me this long to stumble onto ebay for them.
Enjoy your snow day. And cuddling with the dog (3 lap dogs in my house) is a great way to spend a winter's day.
Thanks for stopping by!
Amen.
I've always wanted to try snowshoeing. Maybe this winter.
Hey Terri,
It's a great way to get outdoors and exercise. I'll have to report back after I get my "shoes" :)
Have a wonderful evening! And thanks for your post.
I haven't done anything with eBay but my husband is all over Craig's list always looking for that good deal! I'm forever grateful for that second chance God has given me.
Wonderful post. Very thought provoking.
Glad you got the snowshoes.
