[Magdalen] My move

[Lynn Ronkainen]

moves ARE exhausting.... my move in '08 remains etched in my mind... seemed 
like the packing and throwing/donating was phase 1 exhaustion 
(physical&emothional)... then the 'moving in'... which actually took 2 years 
to fully accomplish (finally organizing a 'den' room that had the 
spillover/where will I put it/should I keep it 'stuff' - where probably too 
much survived) was phase 2, which has still not truly ended.  Two years ago 
my sister and I began the process of disassembling my mom's condo - more 
furniture to absorb, and books (and more books), and boxes I stashed in the 
attic... I'm soon to be in the process of re-thinking my 'stuff' and making 
some throw/donate/bequeath decisions, and even thinking about that is 
stressful, but I have hopes that lightening the load will also lighten mine, 
and so it goes...

Lynn - sympathizing with my list sisters...
