I just walked around my house, and was taking note of things that haven't been unpacked since I moved here, and stuff that had been.
And then I start giving myself a headache when I try to figure out what is getting moved to Paulette's new place and the stuff that I need to get from her old place.
So, to get stuff from here to the west, do I need a moving truck, or just a van? To get my stuff moved, what system is easier? Is it easier to do everything at the same time, or move her stuff and my stuff at the same time?
The latter is a lot at once, but it would be done. The other would take a couple different times, but it would still get done.
But either way, with things separate like this in two different houses, I don't think we need some moving company, if Paulette and/or I can get some help from our kids or something.
Or, Paulette talked about having a yard sale first, but (not criticizing her), there is a lot of collectibles that she probably doesn't want to get rid of. So that's more stuff that will have to be moved as opposed to being sold. Or maybe she's decided to give the stuff up, which means a bigger yard sale.
All of this is giving me a headache. LOL LOL
But through all of this, I have learned that I hate moving - the simple mention of the word makes me want to drop a brick on my foot.
But I was also told that I needed a vacation - this after just coming off of taking a vacation to see my family. The difference, I was told, was that I needed to take time "just for me".
BUT, I also remember what I had said last Thanksgiving... What am I thankful for? How have I seen God in my life?
I am SO CLOSE to being done with Course of Study classes. Only TWO more to go, and I'm already scheduled for those this summer in Ohio. If I had been able to take the classes through a correspondence-type program, I might already be done, but how I am and learn, I would have missed out on so much. So I'm thankful for that.
I saw God today in the difference so many people made in the lives of the people in a Nursing Home through their volunteer hours with visits, reading, devotions, or worship services. It was great to sit and visit with a small handful of people who make a difference in other people's lives. Truely awesome!
So here's to the positive - the "don't stress about hauling boxes across the state" - the enjoying every moment of my life - the "laughter is the best medicine".
