Exhausted


Exhausted - "to consume entirely" per the Merriam-Webster online dictionary. Packing and more packing. Moving - rain and a leaking storage unit. Moving again. Closing. Finalizing. We put our condo on the market May 1st. We closed August 15th. A surprise that it sold so quickly in these economic times. Then the decision of what to do. For several weeks we looked at local houses on the market. Small houses, big houses - looking for something to meet our needs and expectations. Not wanting to feel rushed and make a decision we would later regret - we put on the brakes.

Here we are living in our little travel trailer. We have been here over a week. We have at least one month more, maybe two. No hurry. Wish it were a time to rest. No rest. Not yet. Applications to fill out. Internet searches. Telephone interviews. Licenses to obtain. Classes to take. Then work. work work. work.

Rest: refrain from labor or exertion/free from anxiety or disturbance. Satisfy: to gratify to the full - to make happy. NAP ahhhhhh a good old fashioned nap - satisfies and makes happy to the fullest!

We are now beginning our great adventure and we are pumped! Will let you know where we will be going next.

Grace and peace to you
