Address-number-signs as we move
Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:52 pm
Hi everyone! Hope this message finds you all well!
Every once in a while, one of us posts about 'personal' numbers we see -- other than 11:11, 2:22, etc. Such as, seeing a deceased loved one's birthday, or some other number that holds meaning to us, so might take our attention. Well lately Adam & I keep seeing 10:04 all the time -- that is our home address. It began 2 or 3 months ago. Now, suddenly, very last minute, we are moving. Adam has been looking for a teaching job for well over a year, and he just found one up north. We'll be leaving our area and moving 300 miles away. The "address sign" started before he'd even applied to the job. We were talking about it and decided it was a hallmark, a way of letting us know we will keep our "home" in our hearts, even though our "address" was about to change. We may be leaving our house - but will create a new home. Our home is with one another. So even though it is so very sad for us to leave our 1004 address -- we will create a new one. We will find peace with it.
Life is funny. So many happy things -- like him finally getting a chemistry job!!!!! -- are mixed with sadness. We feel happy and sad; excited and terrified; anxious and calm. We are in motion! We don't know which way to turn right now, we are turning in circles. Having to pack up a whole house, get a U-Haul truck, plan for our new lives together. But the little signs, the little gentle 10:04s, they are helping us to feel that somehow or other -- this is going to be all right. We will enjoy our new lives, and we will will keep all the good stuff of our lives as we know it. Our Home is forever! Wherever we might live!
Wanted to share this in case any of you could use a little pick-me-up right about now . . .like we do! There is always hope, even when we are absolutely terrified of what lies ahead. Even in our anxiety, sometimes, we find peace.
Blessings to all of you,
Michele
