Things are Changing…

Yesterday my grandson sat on my couch surrounded by packed and taped boxes in tears. His grandmother’s life is changing, again. I envy people who get married, or stay single, buy a home or a condo and make house for the remainder of their lives. That was never me. I go where I am called to go and I do what Spirit moves me to do…including moving.

I moved to Spokane four years ago. When I did, my daughter told me her family would be gone in less than three years as she had a vision of living on a farm. I told my daughter I would remain here the rest of my life as I was done moving. Then…life happened. My daughter remains and I am moving.

I got married in February and my sweetheart and I decided to rent my house as a Furnished Finder to professionals and people in transition, move to Arizona and snowbird, returning to Spokane between renters. I love Arizona. I also love Spokane, and more than the city, I love my friends and daughter’s family; a lot.

So yesterday I hugged my youngest granddaughter who tells me with every hug that I will be moving back as I won’t be able to live without her. What she doesn’t know is that she will be growing and find interests beyond her Barbies at her grandmother’s home. And, I watch my grandson fall apart knowing he too will be okay. We all will be.

I have found it interesting, throughout my life, leaving what is SO good for my next unknown. I like leaving what I don’t like better, but, there is a conflict within when Life is good and I’m pushed out of the nest.

You and I know that change is always happening. Change in prices, change in weather, change in circumstances. Some change we initiate, some change we respond to. Either way, change is like a buffer that rubs up against our sense of self. Our response changes us.

I drive off next week to fly back and prepare my home for other people that will be blessed by its presence. As always, I look forward to sharing my new spiritual revelations as I walk down a new path.
