Moving Lessons

Life moves on, sometimes unexpectedly.  After so many moves to homes in different cities, we learned some lessons I can share.


Unpack essentials immediately ... before forgetting which boxes and where they landed — rechargers, toilet paper, meds, and keys, for example.  (My phone camera was handy when packing.  Wish I had used it more.)


Remember: storage units seem convenient, sometimes essential, but they tend to be a trap.  Determination and hard work are required to break free without a contractor doing the move/disposal.  However, intentional storing works.  (Like intentional parenting I’ve heard about?)


Simplify. Get some rest ... and a little fast food!
