Waist Deep
A short post to say that we are waist deep in boxes and stuff, getting ready for a move.
One hundred and thirty miles seems like a long way, but really not so far.
My first move from Lake Junaluska to my first appointment as an elder in the church was about 210 miles.
I moved from there to Jackson, Mississippi, and that was about 740 miles.
I moved back to North Carolina a couple of years later, and that was 625 miles.
I moved from that church to Kobe, Japan and that was about 7,000 miles (and I did not even get a per mile moving allowance).
I returned five years later, another 7,000+ miles, and found myself in the same community for 12 years. In many years of living, the place I had lingered the longest before now was five years in a home on Roko Island in Kobe, Japan.
So, it is exactly seven days until moving day. One hundred-thirty miles doesn't seem that far anymore. Boxes strewn all over a house don't seem that daunting.
Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat.
