Hope or delusion?

I'm at a crossroads. I've been unable to find an alternative contractor but in the meantime, someone has come forward with an unbelievably generous offer of assistance. It's a long shot and I don't even want to think about it too much for fear of getting my hopes up. With any luck I'll know if it's viable by next week. On the one hand self-sufficiency is important, but if I let my pride get in the way I'll lose out on a fantastic opportunity that may not come along again.

I have got to find something to distract me for the next several days!
