funny thing about saying goodbye and packing...
i live everyday with all the stuff that will go in the boxes but it's not until i touch each item - the billions of books, the nick-nacks, clothes, pictures - that the memories are unlocked. even though i have looked at many of these things every day for 3 1/2 years, i haven't enjoyed some of them as much as i am in the moment it takes to move them from a shelf to a box. i suppose i'm sappy right now. goodbyes make me want to barf. but memories are flooding, moments are flashing, i love smiling, i love my students who wrote me notes that fall out of...everything, i am grateful for the friends who have changed our lives.
funny thing about goodbyes...they sometimes make you better.
