Moving is a pain in the b*****************************************************s

Ok, I've been busy packing.  Seems I've been doing lots of packing and packing and packing.  I don't even want to think about how it's going to be getting the various companies to turn off water and power and the internet and what else?  Gas, although that might be part of electric I think

On the up side, the place I am moving into is far less rent and all the utilities are included in the rent.   And I've a good many jobs to look over in FL.  As well as the support system of my family.

Life is good now and will be even better!

I'm a bit sad to leave my friends here in MD.  I've already gotten many expressions of loss from folks at work and even a card saying how sorry they are to loose me from their lives.

Got to say, at least some of that is the worry they won't have anyone to fix their computers and not some sort of deeply personal loss.   No worries, who really worries about when their favored store clerk leaves the business?  

I've seen it before.  The comments of "I sure wish ______was here.".  But they fade soon enough when who ever takes over gets to know them and they get to know them.

Sort of like changing schools.

For myself I will carry them in my heart for all my life.  But even at that, I too will over time forget to think of them as individuals.  I'll remember a happy time in my life and remember a few of them vividly.

Funny how the mind works.  We only really remember the high points of our lives.  The first kiss, the first time we had sex, the first car, etc.  We tend to forget the hard times for the most part.

Personally, I think that's God helping us out and being in his nature, he of course only sees the good in all things.

Be well All,

John.
