| Starcroft Fiber Mill’s new home – under construction in 2012 |
a moving and somewhat unsettling year
Here’s what I learned in 2012:
* if you put your old house up for sale in a poor market,
it really could sell before you have a new house to live in
* with a generous amount of tears and perseverance you can sort, pack, and move
35 years accumulation of life in 6 weeks
* house-less is not the same as home-less
thanks to the generosity and kindness of friends
* you can move into and live in 5 different places in 9 months time
while simultaneously building a mill, a barn, and a house
* you can move 3 complete households (yours, a daughter, a son) and 1 business
in the dog days of June, July, and August
* when everything you own is stored in boxes
it’s amazing how little ‘stuff’ you really need to live
* that amidst the chaos, life continues on with celebrations of
a birth, an engagement, a pregnancy announcement, a graduation, and a funeral
* that a 9 month un-anticipated hiatus from your work
can leave you renewed and eager to get back to it
It was a year of the un-anticipated, of patience and flexibility, of letting go
and new beginnings.
and new beginnings.
