My apologies: Until I am resettled in Florida, my posts will not be as regular as they once were.
Packing up a household is like reading your life's book, chapter by chapter, in reverse.
-----G. Hill
Like so many lenses, each item I pack is a page of my story, pulling me back in time. But my saga feels small and interrupted when boxed and taped in bubble wrap. I feel the call of the blank page.
-----G. Hill
Don’t let yesterday use up too much today.
------Cherokee Saying
Choose the ebb and flow of life, not so much of things but of love, of relationships. We hold on because we are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on continuity. But the only continuity is in growth, in fluidity, in freedom.
— Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Tomorrow Calls: This Side Up
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven . . .For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
-----Matthew 6:19-21
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
----2 Corinthians 5:7

Life paced up in a box seems so confining. Release the tape open the flaps and enjoy what is left So many times we hold onto things for kids and memories that are not wanted. BREATH we have a whole new life to experience. ENJOY. CELEBRATE
