The Move

Moving day — February 2, 2013.  Groundhog Day, Gary Snyder’s 61st birthday, Jonathan Plsek’s 16th ‘new’ birthday, and my moving day.  After 22 1/2 years in the same house, the moving process wasn’t exactly easy, especially moving from a 3650 square foot house in Roswell, Georgia to an 1177 square foot apartment in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  I began at least a month beforehand, weeding through stuff that brought back so many sweet memories of raising my boys in that house.  I found cards they had made me over the years, notes telling me they loved me, pictures they had drawn.  It was a long process….especially when I would stop, look, read, remember.  But I finally had to box up, throw out, store, and pack for my new place.  Other than a few neighborhood kids scaring me to death playing around the pool, everything went relatively smoothly.  I wonder if the groundhog saw his shadow?
