Friday the movers will be here and life as I know it will be changed. I will miss Publix too, the guy that fixes my car, the gorgeous Florida skies, the beaches, the Gulf, the light....<BR/><BR/>Angel will leave before me and then I will be alone. I plan to take some time and travel to see my family...to write, to walk on moutain paths, and most of all to be alone.Stephen Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767676630877766717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29559369.post-1156202285924668612006-08-21T16:18:00.000-07:002006-08-21T16:18:00.000-07:00For some reason all your blog posts for the last t...For some reason all your blog posts for the last ten days just showed up for me this morning. <BR/><BR/>It was nice to catch up - though I recognize with deep seated uneasiness the groundless state of getting ready to relocate to the other side of the world. Cut yourself lots of slack, because in some ways losing all the ground you know could hit you like a loss.<BR/><BR/>But soon you'll say you're leaving... have arrived... head's spinning... received your things... welcomed Bruce 'home'... and then there will be new routines and friends both in NZ and the US, until finally you'll have reassuring familiarity again. And all in just a few months.<BR/><BR/>Though I would not want to do it again(!) there's a stark clarity I miss about that brief period of having nothing around me telling me where I fit. We are always groundless anyway, whether we are faced with it or not.<BR/><BR/>Much metta. May you be well, happy and peaceful. May you live in safety. May you live with ease.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690159972412894518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29559369.post-1156194041648922302006-08-21T14:00:00.000-07:002006-08-21T14:00:00.000-07:00You have a lot going on right now, so it's natural...You have a lot going on right now, so it's natural that posting seems like "one more task" to do rather than being something fun.

Being a military wife and moving every 3-4 years..I understand what you are talking about....the goodbyes (even to your mailbox !!) get overwhelming. Deciding what goes, what can't....you need to walk away. Make plans this weekend to do something totally not related to the move...you need some fresh air so that heaviness in your chest will subside...I know...I have had that feeling many times. I will keep you in my prayers as this move approaches....we do have some awesome thunderstorms though don't we????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29559369.post-1156175095965466532006-08-21T08:44:00.000-07:002006-08-21T08:44:00.000-07:001) Yes, cats are coming to NZ.

(that is a WHOLE different story in and of itself!)<BR/>2) I'm glad you're starting to feel better, poor thing!<BR/>3) You must have been talking to my husband - about the exercise part. That's exactly what he told me today. I know, I know, I know................ I should. I love the underwear thought. But then I definitely should exercise! =)Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522195965279580830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29559369.post-1156171983847216482006-08-21T07:53:00.000-07:002006-08-21T07:53:00.000-07:00Ok, so right now, I'm worried about your cats. Ar...Ok, so right now, I'm worried about your cats. Are they coming to NZ???<BR/>I'm still sick, this is the seventh day, but I'm feeling better... or at least like I'm getting better. I know this because I want to do things, even if they make me tired. Before I couldn't even think about wanting to do things much, and mostly was just sleeping. And I'm coughing less.<BR/>At least you know that this feeling is a stage... and will pass. Because it has to, because you have a ticket that says you leave on a certain day, and you must be packed by then. Maybe instead of a leather suit, you could buy some sexy underwear. New underwear are like the best kind of retail therapy because they feel nice next to your skin and no one knows but you and maybe your husband, which makes it even better. Buy red or orange or yellow or green. Either that, or bubble bath or face cream. You could go for a run, that works for my husband. Run the stink off you. You could go to that new movie, Little Miss Sunshine, by yourself. I love Toni Colette. I haven't seen it, but I could go with you in spirit because I really want to see it. Go to a matine.<BR/>I'm out of suggestions. I'm glad you got a new computer, and you will be used to it in no time. Just remember, it's pretty hard to break, so just try things if you don't know how to work it and you will probably figure it out on your own.<BR/>Hugs and kisses.Bobealia...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15713026993668872520noreply@blogger.com
