I hope when I am Vera Martin's age, I can be as pragmatic and as organized as she is. About ten days ago I made arrangements to begin moving her to Clairmont. The plan was to pack up her belongings today and move everything tomorrow. When I arrived this morning, almost all of her things were packed. She has been doing a little bit each day. Not only was she packed, but she had sticky notes on everything to tell us what stays with Brighton Gardens and what goes, what should be donated and what needs to be sold, and where to put each large item in the new apartment. It was amazing.
I am relieved that Vera is eager for this move. The financial concerns have really been stressing her out, and she commented today that tonight she will sleep well because the move is happening. Pragmatically, she sees this as something that just needs to be, so do it. Oh, to be that accepting of things in our lives. Perhaps this is what life looks like when we allow ourselves to be completely within God's will.
