Like, yeah, we all know change, right? We live and breathe change. But there are times, non-transition times, when any of us, even 10-year postop Admins at Susan's Place get whapped by change.
My husband and I are moving. After 3 winter-overs in our 1BR/ 1BA condo on Maui, we said, "We can do this. The hell with mainland summers that rarely get above 65 degrees F. Let's do Maui full time."
So we've put this WA home on the market - mountain view, golf course home, 1/2 acre, 2150 square feet under $400K, kids - which means DECLUTTERING. Change.
Today, I opened a cupboard I thought was empty. Photo albums, memories, family. Sigh. Even after all these years, memories can come flooding back to haunt. Luckily, I am very secure in myself, my marriage, my life decisions. But memories can be intense when you see your old self in your old life from 20+ years ago. How did I survive those years? Weren't the kids cute back then? And grandbabies.
So I sighed a bit and went to Walmart to buy some boxes and big envelopes. Time to send family history to the kids to be passed on to the grandchildren.
