I've been wanting to start the process now because I know that my life's about to get insane in March and then it would all be left till the last minute. So, I started in my "office" area. I packed up my books and some knick knacks. Then, thanks to some friends who were over last night I don't have to remove the pictures from my walls...they took care of that. Of course it took me a bit of time to find where they hid them all, but once I did I carefully wrapped them in newspaper and placed them in a box.
So, that's that. My life in boxes. It's amazing how much we accumulate, but also how much of what is in that stuff that speaks to the life we've lived. Looking at pictures and things that I have collected over the years truly does testify to how blessed I am. The faces of my friends and family, scenery from all over the world in those pictures remind me that I have lived an incredible life thus far. I have a lot to be thankful for. I cannot wait for the next chapter to begin so that one day as I am packing up to come back home I can once again be reminded of how the Lord has blessed me and how much I have really lived.
Of course, I hope and pray that there's not nearly as much to pack then as there is now!
