On the spectrum of hard life transitions, my recent move falls very low. Still, it was a transition and we all know how uncomfortable those can be. I have a feeling it might have something to do with the indefinite time frame - you never really know when you are going to stop transitioning. Which, for a person who loves schedules and predictability, this is an uncomfortable reality.

Still, this past week has been filling with blessings. Mainly, I am in awe of the quality of my people. Many hands do make light work and I was amazed at how many hands were willing to take part in a definitely not fun process. I am thankful for them and while I know it isn't about keeping score, I do really hope that I can be that kind of friend to them. They didn't just make the move easier, but they are really influencing the transition, too. I could feel alone in this new place - well, because I kind of am - but I have people! People who actually like me!! It's a comforting thing.

Thanks guys. You are great.

Two days ago I went for a nice long walk after work and was struck by how green and alive everything looked! I guess there are just some things you don't notice when you are driving.
