Over the last two days, our lives have been wrapped, packed, boxed, sealed and now consigned to a shipping container.
I’ve never been present when movers come in and pack you up ready for a move before. Its quite a surreal experience to come home and find your worldly possessions wrapped and packed. Things like chairs are clearly evident as chairs from their chair-shaped packaging.
The rocking horse was interesting too.
And today the truck and container arrives and off it all goes … to await us somewhere in Canada.
I found myself outside, looking at the stars the other night and considering the fact that in less than a month, the night sky would have all changed. It suddenly struck home somewhat just how big a move this is. Its odd how little moments like that hit you and make you stop and think about all that you’re leaving behind. I’m sure that there’s a heap of people that would look at what we have here and simply say, “you idiot. Why give it all up?”
But the adventure beckons and now seems to be rushing toward us like a brake-less locomotive.
23 more sleeps …
