The Next Chapter
As I wander, watching the last of my things being packed away, I have way too much time to think. Am I ready for this? Just how different will things be? Will my kids still like me when I live right near them? How much fun will I have watching this new child grow? Oh yeah, lots of fun.
Intertwined in all of this looking forward, is a lot of looking back. Am I ready to leave? They'll go on without me. Will they still like me the next time we meet? How much fun will I be missing out on? Lots and lots.
The biggest thing I have realized with all of this wandering and thinking is…… I am blessed.
I am leaving behind some of the most wonderful, clever, kind, creative, and special people I will ever meet. My life the last few years has been made better by them.
I am going to some of the most wonderful, clever, kind, creative, and special people that I am lucky enough to call family.
I am making this journey with an amazing man who has put up with me for years and years, yet still manages to see the good parts of me.
What more could a person ask for?
Thanks everyone for the best going away birthday party ever.
See ya on the other side.

ReplyDeleteI will definitely be taking you up on your offer to visit. And maybe, if you ever make it up to Virginia, we could go check out Old Williamsburg, or something? Because you know, I'm going to have a guestroom too, and you will be welcome in my home anytime.
wishing you only the best and safest move of all time! bittersweet goodbyes and joyous hellos!
