I am finding this move with all of its attendant baggage to be completely different. Yes part of it has to do with this being about me, and the grieving over other things; still there is something else that I can&#39;t quite put my finger on that is gumming the works.<br /><br />@Rositta - I have tended to enjoy both in the past. I get bored easily. He traveled a lot and I would entertain myself by rearranging furniture.<br /><br />@Melissa - I have moved a lot but that stretch beats any of my back to back moves even when we were military. We did come close our first 2 years gong from university to officer training to first station where the unit had just transferred west and moving again to catch up with the unit. The longest I ever lived in one house in my entire life was 9 years and 5 months.Debhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16834029909046193413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535413824741914767.post-49729547973997988042009-08-21T16:23:24.623-04:002009-08-21T16:23:24.623-04:00I haven&#39;t been through this recently, but I have been through it many, many times. Once, I lived in six places over the course of five years! And that wasn&#39;t so long ago... For me, the best part of moving is cleansing. It&#39;s a good time to get rid of stuff, junk that you don&#39;t need or use. I&#39;m always looking to lighten my load and become more of a minimalist.Melissa Donovanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14172924182147253673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535413824741914767.post-70498257538189429852009-08-20T21:14:19.451-04:002009-08-20T21:14:19.451-04:00I love both moving and redecorating although I haven&#39;t done either in 10 years. I am in the (some people would say) enviable position of being able to decorate a second home in Greece this year. It would be fun if things weren&#39;t so darn expensive over there with the state of the Euro. I suspect I&#39;ll have to do with some cast offs&#39; and IKEA stuff, such is life. I am taking books with me though even though I may exceed my baggage limit...ciaoRosittahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05722304052321553692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535413824741914767.post-51169518265040894592009-08-20T13:08:10.724-04:002009-08-20T13:08:10.724-04:00We have moved a lot over the past few years. We always put up pictures, that helps. Books ... I drag my books EVERYWHERE. But even frequent trips to the library helps!<br />I sew and knit so I have those little creative pieces around me.<br />Garage sales rock!<br />Also check out Freecycle, you can score some cozy stuff that people are done with for FREE!chellehttp://soodz.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
