Moving-When Is It Really Over?

My family & I finalized our move, just before the holidays, but, we are still not finished. When you decide to move, there's a lot to consider. There's the before, during & the after.

The preparation phase stirs up all kinds of feelings; excitement, nervousness, anxiousness, tired and weariness, hurriedness, etc. And, it seems that these feelings kick into overdrive, during the move.

So, what happens after the move? Well, perhaps, there's a sense of relief, more excitement and then, more hurriedness. Now, you are in a new place, but there's the unpacking to do, the cable & phone hookup, which takes up most of your day, by the way. Then there's the need to change addresses for all the magazine or catalog subscriptions you still want. (These don't get forwarded automatically).

I'm sure there are more things-to-do, on the list, so the point being; moving is a long process; which brings enough of it's share of stresses to the table. We are still "moving".

Be prepared for the before, during and after. It will finally come to an end.

We love our new home, but, we have to learn new places & meet new people, & still scramble through a long list of things-to-do. We also have to learn the rules of the community, & how the mail runs.
But it will come to an end.
