No Baggage

 I may become a bit homeless down the road.  Wait and see.  But think about leaving someplace.  What do you need to do when you go?  Travel light.  Leave resentments behind.  “I am so glad to be rid of this place,” is not good baggage.  People focus on some negative to make themselves feel better about leaving.  Then after they are gone a bit to a new place, where things don’t go as they fantasized, they begin to miss the old place.  “Oh, I should never have left,” burdens them.  Better to have recognized resentments while you are still at the old place, and then let them go.  Make space for the good things that you are leaving. Mourn.  Be filled with some gratitude for being there at all.  Yes, there will be some hole in your heart, but don’t try to fill it too quickly when you move to a new place.  That would be like eating a quick dessert to fill an immediate hunger.  New joys are often slow cooked.
