Well my packing continues. Just going through all the things I have collected over the years continues to overwhelm me. I knew it would be difficult, but I never thought it would be like this. I have spent days giving away clothing and items to others it can help, along with a few items to my children and grandchildren. I now have all my plants divided up including rather large trees from my patio. I am not only going through my things, but also my Mom and Dads’ remaining items that have memories attached. They both passed on in the last few years to a better place.
I just got off the phone, visiting with a good friend of many years, explaining my predicament. She suggested I just sell everything. At least the furniture and larger items. If I decide to settle down in sticks and bricks again I can just start over. Besides moving the things I put in storage will be costly to move as I don’t plan on settling down in California again due to the cost of living here. She convinced me, so my focus changes somewhat. The items that hold some sentimental value I will still store, but they will be few. The items I need everyday will be packed for the fifth wheel. Everything else is going! Well back to work.
This will REALLY be a Life Re-Start! Safe travels…
