it'll take me a month

Well I started packing.  I have 20 days until I leave for this new adventure and I think it will take me all 20 days to pack.  Mostly because I'm assuming some days I will have to fight resistance to leave and other days my excitement will cause me to throw things willing into those boxes.

In my packing last night I was trying to figure out what I will be taking and what I will leave to visit during Christmas and summer times.  I have this big glass jug in my room...where it came from is a whole different story, but in it I have placed all the notes, cards, scraps of paper that people have written me.  A jar full of encouragement.  I like to keep things, I like memories.

These notes I could've easily left behind and lived without.  But I just cant.  I for a smaller box that they fit into and packed them up in that first box.  I love people and I'm pretty convinced I've met the greatest people around.  People who have walked through life with me and encouraged me to find my worth in this big world.  And without those people and those words I wouldn't be moving to Pennsylvania.  So I'll take them with me, along for the ride.
