Reflection.
March 26, 2010
This weekend is the big move!
As humbled and thrilled and excited I am to finally own our own piece of this Earth, I can’t help but look back at where we have been this past year and reflect on the beautiful times we’ve had. We are very ready to move on, but looking back, I see where my baby was born, the trees my children called home and the spot of lawn where we could spot deer in the wee hours of the morning. It is rather like the change of the season: the blooming of a new spring as we tuck winter away for storage.
Here is a thought found on Julia Deno’s blog this morning.
“A little bit sad about the place you are leaving,
a little bit glad
about the place you are going.
It is a time of quiet wonder–”
Robert McCloskey
We are so lucky and blessed to be moving into a much better situation than we have been in. Our first house. But there is always room for nostalgia isn’t there? Life is beautiful no matter which lens you choose to look at it with: past, present or future.
Moving onward and upward!

It’s a bittersweet experience. You can keep all those memories in your heart and make new ones at your new home. Hope you have a smooth move this weekend. If we lived closer I’d bring by some dinner (It’s always a pain to cook during a move). Hope you have a great weekend
We’re spending our last weekend in the first house we lived in together, where we became a family of three, and started to call this city home. I share the feelings.
yes, I know what you mean, I´ve been through these kind of bittersweet experiences also. Wanting to move to the next thing, but also scared or having some attachment to the life we leave behind..
I´m very happy for you! finally having a house of your own…it´s a true blessing!!! I hope I can make that dream come true for my family too soon!
Enjoy, and rest and ..just have a great weekend!

Wishing you all the best! May Glod bless your new home and the fresh new days!!!
wow! talk about capturing a moment! i love it.
I can relate to this so much, my husband and I are starting the process of relocating for his work, and I might have to leave the city where I have grown up all my life, my family, friends, and so much security. Although a new place sounds a bit exciting, I feel as though the sweetness of a fresh start is completely overshadowed by the gloom of leaving the love and warmth of home. Anyway, thanks for sharing those encouraging words, and congratulations on owning your first home!
