NOTE: I currently do not haved the internet turned on in my new house, so I am once again writing this blog on my smartphone. Hopefully I’ll be back online tomorrow night.
Today I am grateful to be resting in my own bed for the first time in nearly two weeks. My sister Ruth was here helping me stay calm and think through where and where I wanted to situate various pieces of furniture and how I wanted to make the best use of space in my kitchen and a dozen other little things I wouldn’t have come up with on my own.
This is not to say I might not have figured some of this out by myself (though I likely would not have) but having two minds, especially one as sharp as Ruth’s, made things go that much more smoothly. Ruth is one of those people it’s good to have around in a pinch. Now it is almost midnight and I find that I am too exhausted to write much tonight. Still, I am grateful to be surrounded by my possessions and slowly getting myself situated in my new house. I’m also grateful for the love and support of my sister Ruth and all of my family who have been so wonderful over the last few weeks as I prepared to head east. One of these days soon I will chronicle in greater detail my trek across the country with my brother. But for now I am losing my battle with exhaustion and am ready to take my rest. I’ll be back here tomorrow night, hopefully typing this on my computer instead of on my phone. May we all be happy and enjoy the fruits of happiness. May it be so for us all.
