A Body In Motion, Stays In Motion

So this is the view from where I stand. The storm clouds are starting to break and the sun is about to burst through…

Relocating my family in anticipation of starting a doctoral program 100+ miles away from family and friends, is definitely an emotional, mental and physical challenge. Weekly (sometimes daily) I struggle to keep the remaining items on my to do list from unraveling all my hard work. Thankfully, I am a firm believer in destiny and the basic principles of physics. As long as God keeps opening doors, I figure I’ll keep walking through them no matter how much effort it takes. And I’m finding that as long as I keep moving, doors keep opening. Inertia for the win.

Yesterday’s day trip to check out our new home town was fun and refreshing, despite the fact our day began at 4:30am and ended after midnight. The weather was perfect and the drive was lovely. The plan had been to check out the main resources active unschooling families require — libraries, bookstores, community centers, parks and beaches. We also wanted to get a peek at our new home and take a look around campus. It was an ambitious plan. Time ran out before we could make it to all of our destinations, but we did enough to get my children excited and on board for the move.

There is so much more to do, but the end is in sight. I’ll leave the details to God and just keep moving, decluttering, packing, making phone calls, answering emails and packing. Seven days and counting…
