Hi Arcturus,

I've heard that also, that moving is very stressful. I have moved 16 times and always though of it as an adventure. But my poor wife absolutely freaks out. In the past I just couldn't understand what the problem was with her, but I realize now that to some, that can be EXTREMELY traumatic. I was just so dumb that I couldn't understand why Sue would get so upset.

I'm one of those people, that had I lived 150 years ago, would have hooked up my wagon and took off for california with no thought in my head that I needed to worry about the outcome.

My wife is much more sensible than me, and thankfully it is starting to rub off on me.

I am so thankful to hear that Mongoose is settling in nicely and that everything is working out! It's great to hear such good news!

Have a great weekend!
Chuck

Yes Chuck

Its a wonderful example of how God can surprise us out of trusting our own expectations, assumptions and conclusions.  "His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. "  AND ISN'T THAT A BLESSING!  ;D Just look at how wonderful the contrast was for Mongoose! Expecting the worst and being blessed with the absolute opposite. God is SO SURPRISING and DELIGHTFUL in showing us how we should not trust our own understanding and this was the lesson I read in for myself because of the experience Mongoose shared with us all. It really is uplifting!.....

Mongoose,

I'm glad things are going well for you. Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada ... I've been a lot of places around the world, but nowhere is as beautiful as the American southwest. Don't know if that's exactly where you are, but the mountains are so gorgeous, even in Seattle.

I grew up in Pittsburgh ("the rolling hills of Pennsylvania"), and I miss that here in the flatlands of Florida, LOL! I know you're not supposed to envy anyone, but I do! AAAAHHHH!!!  :D

God bless,
Sandy

Sandy, I have that envious feeling too! ::)  I have always wanted to live somewhere else!!  Didn't really care where but not here. Well, there is always the retirement years.

As chuck says all the work and trepidation that goes along with a move!!  I look in my basement and say....Nah, we will stay here!!

Mongoose," moving to the mountains"  just has a romantic lilt to it. I am glad everything is working out.

I love it that on a forum such as this we get to meet people from ALL over the world!

Gena,

Before I moved to Florida, I used to envy people who lived here ... now I want to live somewhere else. LOL

Perhaps that's what Paul was trying to teach us when he said, "I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" (Phil. 4:11). I guess he meant Pennsylvania and Florida, too! ;) Just kidding ... but it fits! :)
