Moving out, Moving on.

Where is....?   Have you seen the....?

Those are the most frequently repeated words around here these days.  We have boxes packed for storage, boxes packed to move to Meghan's place and boxes packed for short term storage at a friends place, just in case we might need them sooner.  Chaos reigns! 

Actually, it's fairly organized chaos but I'm fondly remembering the few times I've moved when everything was done by movers...all the packing and moving...and the only thing required of me was to lounge around in a hotel while the hard work was done by someone with far more energy and muscle than I! 

We move out today but still have a few days to clean and tidy up the garden.  I'm thrilled that there will be a young family moving into our home and the house will be full of life.  Trees will be climbed and marshmallows will be roasted outdoors on the fire.

.....

8 pm. ...OMG, what a long day it was, but we did it!  The puzzle for me is...why have I felt so happy all day to be leaving?  I've never felt this detached from a home before and I've had lots of them! 

There's an excitement within me that comes from taking a "jumping off of a cliff" kind of leap of faith...with the absolute knowing that no matter what (and there are lots of unknowns), I'll fly.

Interesting.

Gee Wiz I am so impressed how fast you all packed and are beginning your new Fun Experience. The last time I moved I thought the boxes were multiplying during the night when I was asleep. I had to laugh at you saying about enjoying others packing and I agree that is a much nicer experience when Professional Movers do it for you. Enjoy your experience and go out and fly to new opportunities. I have so enjoyed watching the Eagles, last night both were in the nest feeding the little ones (getting so big) and that was a real treat. Thank you so much for putting up the website.

I'm so glad you're enjoying the eagle webcam Barbara. I haven't had the time to watch them recently but whenever we drive by the nest I can usually see one of the adults sitting there. Their nests are really HUGE which you don't get a sense of from the webcam.

Yes, we're glad the move is over...and have vowed to get movers do it for us next time! Hopefully that wont' be for a very, very, very long time!

Hi Kate! My goodness, from Mexico to Mayhem, to Eagles hatching, to a new blogname/site! You have certainly been busy! So glad you made it back safe and sound and I am enjoying your postings from San Miguel. I have re bookmarked your site and will follow.
Blessings! LN

I'm with lucy, you definitely seem to be in the exact right place, jumping perfectly in sync with the Universe. Yay, O xo

I am so excited and happy for you, Kate! This experience is obviously one that is right for you which is why you have the feeling of detachment from the house you're leaving....you are ready for a new adventure. Go, girl!!!

love, light and peace,
serena

How absolutely excitingly awesome! :)

How wonderful! You are celebrating what is to come instead of mourning what was. That says a LOT about you Kate, and that you do not dwell on the past. Excellent! Enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation!!

Jaen, so good to hear from you again! I love your "from Mexico to Mayhem" description of my life...it's exactly how I feel! Let's get together now that the mayhen is easing off. I lost all of my email addresses in the move as I had to let go of Shaw as my server, so email me through my blog (upper right hand corner) and we can set something up.

Thanks for your support Serena!

Yay Martie, I'm finished moving, cleaning and gardening and now sorting out my disaster in Meghan's basement suite. Thanks for your support and email!

[Kate I]

I'm smiling too Lucy, and I have the feeling we're both moving on the right path this year! Thanks!

[Kate I]

Thanks for your support Olivia and yes, I feel like I'm in the exact right place. It's a good feeling.
