Missed opportunities have been weighing on my heart of late. Change is hard. I've lived in eight states, seven of those before I was a teenager. Change and I are no strangers, but we're not friends, either. So being on this side of the change, worrying and wondering what the future holds, I'm left pondering what I've not yet accomplished, things I've left undone or not fully taken advantage of while here.
These are my gorgeous raspberry plants. I've had them now for several years, the amount you see in the picture is more than the total number I've gotten from my many plants combined over the years. This is a mere fraction of what awaits. I've worked hard on these plants, and yet I have to leave them behind. The effort I've put in is going to reap benefits for someone else. Oh, how I wish that the harvest was mine for the taking, but I have to walk away from it. It's hard.
What else do I have to walk away from? What other missed opportunities are there? I am beyond sad that I won't get to see my Cub Scout den progress and grow this year. There were a lot of things I had wanted to do with this house that have never materialized. I have friends I would have liked to spend more time visiting. One of my friends told me over the weekend that it was as if we were breaking up.
But, I have bold new adventures on the horizons. Sights to see that I would not have experienced without this hardship. Experiences and opportunities that I can only imagine. Adventure awaits....
