What-s This – Week 7
Kind of funny how moving gives you new perspective on things. While packing and discarding and selling various things we’ve collected over the past 4 years, I wind up seeing things I’ve not seen in a while (or at least seeing things in a new way as I bend and lean over boxes to get through a day.
