Moving, the love hate.

So my wife and I recently moved. We didn't make it to the country but we are slowly creeping back there. One days soon I hope. Anyway, one thing I really love is a change of scenery. I love moving to a new place and taking it in. It's a blast to see and feel new things. I like checking out the local places to eat and it's fun to see how each neighborhood has a different feel to it. But with that being said, there is a dark side to that. Visiting and living and two completely different things. Moving takes so much work you wonder why you even move! We moved over the course of a week. We took our time but it's dragging out even more. I think for me it's all about junk. I hate moving junk. We collect junk along the way but when it comes time to move it it just seems easier to just throw it away. I seriously look at everything I have and all of the crap I've accumulated over the years and it's unbelievable. I'm whittling away at it slowly and have a ways to go still.

I say this because it is a love hate thing. I love moving, seeing the new places and doing the new things, I hate the work that's involved with it. As a country boy I'm used to just making due with what I have. We don't generally have a lot of stuff and a transient lifestyle would be easy. We do tend to settle down in small towns or places we want to call home. How much easier is life when you have a few things that actually mean something to you than a whole bunch of junk? I've learned alot about myself through this move and how I want to be. I want to get rid of the garbage. I want to be able to load up my truck with my few precious items, things that have real importance to me and be able to take off.

Some people say if you have the space fill it. I say if you have the space enjoy it. The less you fill it the happier you will be. You won't spend as much money and you'll have less options which equals less decisions which equals happiness. I'm telling you, moving can tell you alot about yourself. Learn who you are and peel away the crap in your life.
