I have kept my promise to myself to blog every day and I have kept that promise for four months now. Although my life has been turned upside down again, I will continue to keep that commitment. The reason it is particularly challenging at this time, is because I am moving (AGAIN) in the middle of winter. I do not ever recommend moving in winter. If at all possible, it should be avoided. For me; however, at this time, that is exactly what I am doing.
I am a very organized kind of person, but this is a most chaotic move. I will spare my reader the details, but this move has been spread over the course of a few weeks and I am doing most of it alone. (This is not the first time that I have had to do at least 75% of the work all by myself.) I was counting on help from my daughter and her boyfriend yesterday, but they were both coming down with the flu. Fortunately, we were able to get my bed, but much of my larger furniture has to wait until more help is available. It snowed late Christmas day so there is treacherous ice to deal with. It is supposed to snow again tonight and I have but three days remaining to get the rest of my things.
I know that it will all get done. There is no good in becoming stressed about it. The worst part is that this is a temporary move, to help out my daughter while she is being deployed. I intend that the next move shall be my very last (if there even is a next move). The fact is that I am much too old for this and my body is fading, like the last petals on a flower. Possibly sooner than later, it will simply have reached the point where it has had enough abuse and we will say goodbye. I intend to keep writing until that day arrives. I accept the chaotic scene that I am currently engulfed in. It is what it is. I will get through this, one moment, one hour, one day, one breath at a time.
