saying goodbye

I hate to say goodbye. I hate things changing. I like it when everything stays the same....but nothing ever does. Whether it's a temporary change (like the kids going to camp) or a permanent change (like selling the house) I don't like how unsettled I feel. I am a woman who likes to "hunker down" in one place.

That in it's self is ironic as I have never stayed any one place more then a few years my whole life. The time we spent at the farm was the longest I have ever lived in one place ever. I have always been something of a nomad.

It's one of life's hardest lessons for me....nothing is static. Everything changes. I hope I'm learning this lesson gracefully, if unwillingly.
