We are still on the move. After a wonderful holiday with family in Florida we spent some time in Colorado and the drove across to California. We are subletting a small one bedroom apartment until...?????. When we arrived, the boys walked in found some space amongst someone else's stuff and unpacked as if they had lived here forever. Never a moment of... "this place is small", or "where is all our stuff, or even "you mean we have to sleep on the couch for the next whatever months"? They just unpacked organized their things and looked at me like "ok, what next?
To be able to be that adaptable is something we should ALL learn. We all young or old tend to get attached to "stuff" We feel it is what makes us whole, but in reality it is just "stuff". Watching them has truly made our "gypsy life" just that.....moving from place to place with nothing but a suitcase and the clothes on our back....literally! I have learned that as much as we have some great furniture packed in a storage unit, I don't miss it(apart from all my wonderful frames full of fantastic memories), but even with that it is just "stuff" and what really makes the world a brighter place is the wonderful experiences, and the wonderful positive people you choose to surround yourself with.
Thank you boys for showing me this, and I hope you will carry this moment of "gypsy life" with you forever. Even if you don't live like a gyspies we should at least try and think like one!
