FIRST; of all NO ONE in their right mind over the age of seventy should ever consider moving. EVER !
SECOND of all; NO ONE in their right mind of any age should ever consider moving in the months of June, July or August, or even September for that matter. EVER !
THIRD of all; NO ONE in their right mind should ever try to condense the contents of 7 rooms into the space of 3 rooms in the span of 3 months time. It is proven fact that it can not be done. EVER !
And last but not least NO ONE of any age at any time should ever have to move all their stuff by them selves. So aren't I lucky that I have the family and friends that I do.
Today was "M" day. After having discussed the idea of selling my house with Keri and Steve back in April the decision was made to put it on the market and within days we had a buyer and within weeks I had a contract. The closing date was set for JULY 1 and the race was on. Two and a half months to pack up 12 years of house and home and find a new place to move to was a massive challenge that brought me to my knees and beyond but through a lot of prayer and love I have made it through and come out the other side. God carried me many days when I couldn't stop crying. He sent my children to hold me up, he sent my best friends to cheer me and today I had 2 young men carry a ton of boxes into this tiny space where I'll rent for a year until I figure out where God wants me to go from here.
What I can't figure out is if I should empty the boxes or just rearrange them into different shapes each week to make it interesting. I would go to bed except I can't find my pillow and I'm not sure just which pile in the bedroom has a bed under it. I'll be sure to keep you up to date on my adventures here in SAN MATERA my new community across from the Gardens Mall. Very lovely if I do say so myself. My condo needs some cleaning up but the community is lovely.
