"Moving is fun, moving is fun....." is something we say kind of like "no one likes change except a wet baby." We say it. We may even mean it. We go through the changes needed and do the packing of said boxes. We even sort - into recycle, reuse, get rid of and keep piles - and boxes. If we are VERY lucky we have family and friends to help us move said boxes to the new location.
As ministers Dad and I moved several times. I moved even more times as a child growing up in a minister's home - but who is counting! All of us are pretty good at getting things into the boxes. We do okay with getting things OUT of the boxes - most of the time. Dad was VERY good at sitting in a chair, usually reading, and ignoring all the activites going on around him. He just wanted to know where we had put his things when the boxes were unpacked..... This last move (prayerfully the LAST move) has been without Dad - like the previous two - and there are a LOT fewer boxes. There are, however, still a lot of boxes with a LOT of things that need to be sorted and places found for. All of which means "time" to go through, memories to think of and decisions to make. Like I've said before...... you have to laugh or you will start screaming (crying?)!!
