Home and Family

“A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing.” Laura Ingalls Wilder

The Laura Ingalls Wilder quote above reminds me of the Leanne Morgan comedy special I had on Netflix in the background yesterday. I was packing to move (again) and feeling very overwhelmed about what’s ahead. I’m excited, but still overwhelmed. And, exhausted.

In a nutshell, we sold the family home last summer (moving posts here) and are in a temporary apartment until we move again soon…I’ll blog the details sometime. It’s been quite a year.

Back to the special – I laughed harder at Leanne Morgan’s stories (and accent) than I have laughed in ages. I know, it’s sad but true. But what I love in her and others with similar personalities, is the ability to take the ordinary, extraordinary and sometimes-annoying life circumstances and just make them funny. The super crazy stuff (like moving an entire household in your late 50’s) are, after all, nearly always humorous. Eventually.

I’m hoping the fatigue, disorganization, stuff here and there and everywhere, gets funny at some point. Better yet, if I can share it with you in a humorous way, I will. But, don’t count on it. I’m not that funny😉.

In the meantime, I’m really here this morning to wish you a great day! (I hope you were able to see the stunning full moon last night.) Thank you for reading my Rambling Rose Monday blog post…have a wonderful week ahead!

    Good luck with your move. Have moved 3 times since retirement, twice were cross country. Always love the Little House books.

      Wow, three moves and two across country since retirement? That’s a lot at any point in life but the older we get, the more physical and emotional it all feels. The Little House books are treasures. Thank you, Pat.

    Hit send accidentally. I’ve moved six times, and I can sympathize. I hope it all goes smoothly and that you will be able to catch up on your rest.

      Thank you, Anne, for the thoughts♥️. Six times and one overseas for you…that must have been monumental with the kids young too.

        We were young then. John $ was eight months old when we moved.

    I adopted this partway into my marriage when things seemed to be tightening. I started laughing and everything changed.

    I have moved 12 times (mostly job related), and each one a new venture and making new friends. Now, that I am older, it becomes difficult physically, but the peace of mind is worth it. You can do this! 💖

    I moved at 67 and it wasn’t fun. But now I’m glad the move happened when it did! Hang in there!
