Memories

Today I looked at pictures of the house.  Sadness overcame me.  So may memories.  I have nothing, absolutely nothing but gratitude, appreciation for my southern Appalachian experience.  I am more than better for having it. 

You know when you made a good decision that you are so excited about it.  There are no negatives, only opportunities.  The universe opens to you.  You feel as though you are in the zone. 

Knowing I am finally.  F I N A L L Y.  Close to my family is a dream come true.  Moving here followed a dream.  But as my children settled down, it became a hardship living so far away.

Going home to pack up will be strange.  I will take four days to make the trip.  That way, I can function in the getting ready to move mode.  Driving here this time meant that for about 4 days post travel my mind and body were still going.  It is a terrible feeling.

I'm already missing my things.  Every thing.  A coffee pot.  A vacuum cleaner.  A full length mirror.  More clothes. 

Today I went dish shopping.  I am buying white dishes.  Maybe cook wear as I have none here.  And cleaning supplies.  They leaked all over the bag despite the fact I tightened the tops before putting them in the car.  Things leaking have come in threes - a pipe in my daughter's house, one in my son's.  And of course, leaky cleaning stuff.  How suiting for me.
