We have so many smaller things to divest. We have decided to give most away and we’ll be giving to the Vietnam Veteran’s Association. Garage sales are the obvious choice but from what we understand everything goes for very little or nothing at all to folks who may not be that needed. By giving not only do the needy benefit but we (the far less needy) also benefit by being able to offset this as a gift tax. For selfish and non-selfish reasons the VVA seems the best option. I retire in exactly one month. The clock is ticking. Probably won’t be a real retirement as I’m bound to go back to work sometime. Nice thing is, I don’t have to think about that right now. Off to do more sorting stuff out … The Hookah has now arrived. It is a lot heavier than I imagined but in hindsight I am not surprised. This we won’t test until November when we pick it up in St Martin. Every big change in life invariably involves trading away good and bad things to be replaced with some other set of good and bad things. For us, making the change we are making, the list is long. While we would not be doing this if the balance were not positive, the goods and the bads don’t happen evenly. We’re going through the process of ridding ourselves of our home and it’s contents. We’re gradually saying goodbye to the “bringing up a family” era of our lives. The latter was always an inevitability but it’s all tied into the emotion of the now. We’re so busy getting through transition it’s hard to focus on the end state. So the mental challenge is keeping focussed on the end state and not letting the “sacrifices” of the now feel overwhelming. July just needs to be survived, August will get better. We’re going through a whole series of ‘lasts’. Today saw our last mortgage payment going out. This is not the first nor the last of our ‘lasts’ but it’s kind of a big one. |
