The following entry should have been posted at the beginning of November 2006:
My family and I are moving this weekend. We are not going far -- only 25 miles south of our current location. But we are all looking forward to the new life the change will bring. Despite the great efforts and inconveniences that moving can represent, we consider this our own version of "Extreme Makeover - Home Edition." We are moving from a very unhealthy environment to one where we will again feel happy and strong. I share these thoughts because it became obvious of how our focus was different this move from others. In previous instances we always looked at the pain of moving and concentrated on that more than the joy of being in a new place. We also took for granted that the home we were moving into would be safe and healthy for us. Our attitude is very different this time. We have learned many valuable lessons over the last eight years. And one of them is to approach the move with love and positiveness, focusing on all the good to come (for many years) and not the minor pains (short term) of the journey home. I hope you are all safe and happy in a nice home!
