One day left this week, then a full week next week, then I'm done with work. Seems great and crazy at the same time. It has been quite an adventure this year working with the preschoolers. They had a lot to offer..and I tried to soak up as much as possible while I've been here. So, about back home...my parents decided to put the house up for sale this summer in with the prospect of living in a town a bit more East in PA. A little warmer weather, a little less yard to maintain, and a little closer to my brothers :) None of us thought it would probably happen, but some guy offered full price last week..and so that's it. It's gone. It's a bit sad to see a place you spent many years sold. Having said that, change is the essence of life in so many ways. That's why it is easier if one is not attached to earthly 'things' and is able to enjoy the ride that is life. Change only becomes difficult when we dwell too long on the sadness of our loss and neglect to attend to the excitement of what is new! I will miss my house. I feel as if I have lost so many 'things' that made my life was it was just a mere three years ago. I know though, that I would not be happy today if I would have clung to what my life used to be just a mere three years ago. It is better to follow our ambitions then to regret not having done so. At least that's what I heard once. Sounds right to me. Or maybe it was "Don't regret the mistakes you've made, only regret the mistakes you have not." Well, that doesn't sound right, but I guess the gist of it is, don't let fear prevent you from making change, because then you'll only have regret that you didn't try...which I guess is worse! Oh wow, that was much talk about not much :)
