Buddy and Many Blessings

I worry and sweat about all the moving, packing, unpacking, buying and selling residences. I have to think about them as 'residences'. Home is wherever my family is. We have moved so very many times, and each time it is the same. But, this time, we are moving many of our possessions to the one house we'll never sell. It will be the place many many many more holiday memories are shared. It's the home that was initialed dreamt of by my parents on their land, and now through a massive collaborative effort, the dream is going to be a reality. For the most part, it is going to be their house. It'll just have furniture, toys, kitchen gadgets etc from my current house in the home country. This new place will serve as a permanent anchor to my family as we trot about the globe. As I pack for the two week trip back to the home country to begin prepping for this next move, I must keep all my blessings in mind.

Today's snap is of Buddy - Munchkin #2's pet hamster. This photo does not really do justice to just how very cute Buddy is. Buddy's picture reminds me of all my family has been blessed with. Yes, we keep having to move, but as I look at the pictures posted here on the blog over the last three years, I know we lead amazingly full lives. And we really love our little pets.

Peace.
