Cleansing

I've been spending my spare time lately organizing, cleaning, and packing boxes. I'm amazed by the amount of stuff I've been able to just throw away! Who knew I had so much junk around. I think in our next house I'll try to give, sell, or throw away something everyday. I like the feeling of cleansing and simplifying.
It's going to be great to have a fresh start, not just with the house, but leaving emotional things behind as well. We've been through quite a lot in this beautiful small town. We've grown our family by two, lost a brother, lost our belief system, lost a job, grown in love for each other greatly, and learned a new appreciation for life and living it. I'm ready to take the things we've learned here and live them out in a new place, it's almost like starting a new life altogether. I'm always going to miss things about this place, namely the closeness to nature. It really can't be beat!
We'll be loading the U-Haul on Saturday and unloading it the next day in our new house! It's a good thing I like adventure since life seems to be full of it.
