Storage Unit Woes

We had swore (well almost) that we would never have one.
We had secretly rolled our eyes at those crazy people that had them.
We had tried to find alternatives.
But we ended up getting a storage unit.
"Just for a couple months" we promised ourselves.
That was 2 years ago.
Life seldom follows the path you intend it to
And our life is no exception
Tonight we went to the storage unit and arranged boxes,
Dismantled the kitchen table,
Dusted
And did other sundry things
Tomorrow we are moving some of the larger items
Most notably my piano
2 years is a long time without my little stress reducer
I have missed it.
I played it tonight
In the unit
A few keys stuck
It wasn't in tune
I am way out of practice after 2 yrs
Regardless, it was beautiful
It was also, possibly, a wee bit weird for the other people there
For once in my life
I DIDN"T CARE
Lord willing the entire unit will be empty by the first
My stuff will be stored now in various locations
I will be going through and getting rid of much
In some ways it seems like defeat
I still am not in a bigger house
I may never be
I may have to go through this again
I may never have a piano in my residence
But, praise God,
IT'S JUST STUFF!
:o)
Now if I can just keep that in mind all of the time
Life as a sentimental pack rat is hard! ;o)
