I was looking at some pictures on Facebook and came face to face (no pun intended) with history. I actually clicked on the picture when I spotted it in the album. I looked at the whole picture. And I felt..... nothing. No anger, no sadness, no regret, nothing but recognition of what that place used to mean to me. I'm thankful, so very thankful, for this. I know that tomorrow or some other day I may not be so calm and accepting. That's ok. Just the fact that I was tonight means I am moving on. And that I will get to my new destination and live my life there without regrets or bitterness. That is a relief.


And speaking of new destinations, the move is very close now. I'm starting to feel excited about it, about living in a new place without memories, without compromises in decor, in a space that is just the right size (and cost) for me. What a great beginning it will be!
