Change has come
The job looks
impossible but we have reached what might be termed the inevitable. After almost
10 and a half years in my home by the end of the month, it would have been
become part of my history.
I never
really did much to my home, it was ready to live in when I bought it and it was
hardly 3 years after its being built that I bought it off a couple who in their
70s had bought the place off a plan and were leaving here to move into another
new apartment by the river down south where they could get much help with their
daily lives.
I thought to
myself then that I would love to be able to make decisions redolent of
youthfulness just as these people did then. I am reminded more each time to try
and retain a sense of youthfulness and a youthful outlook in whatever
circumstances I find myself even though it can be a rather hard task.
Packing up
This morning,
I had help from friends to purchase and collect packing boxes to pack decades
of life and maybe offering the opportunity of divestment of stuff.
Not much of
this was planned for and I do not know what lays ahead but hope for the future
and possibly the chance to start all over again – the first box is packed and
sealed – it is full of books.
The wines
going back over 15 years, the shoes too many for two feet, the clothes like a
shop for the masses – all these need sorting through and arranged into what
should be kept, what should be given away and what is not needful that can be
given away – it will be a process of disconnection so as to avoid distraction –
Life!

When will i make a decision like this? That's what came into my mind after reading this. Are you moving to another house or leaving Holland? All the best.
