I have a great deal of anxiety over leaving this town, leaving the people that saw our happiness and our pain, that know what it means when I look at a gaggle of three-year-old girls. And leaving my garden that makes me think of Serenity. I see her in many places around my neighborhood, the local park, the botanical garden. What will I do when I am living in a town that doesn't hold physical memory triggers of her? Not think of her as often?
Janis had an excellent post about moving. I am dreading leaving my comfort zone and entering the unfamiliar.
What if I hated it here? Or, what if Triple S had found a job here, would I find that I didn't really want to stay?
I am trying to release my anxiety and embrace the adventure. And the two important things will be going with me, Triple S and Beanie.

Serenity Joy almost made it into this world alive, but almost doesn't count. Her little sister did make it.
When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.

Thank you for leaving such kind words on my blog. I find that any big change is difficult to wrap my head around.I hope you are able to come to peace about moving. Well wishes and strength as you begin your new adventure~
Yep, the two most important things for sure. And I know you'll carry the memory of Serenity with you forever, no matter where you physically end up. I will, too.

A friend gave me a spice jar with the following quote: "A good cook knows that it's not what is on the table that matters, it's what is in the chairs." So true.
Hang in there, and good luck! xo
