Room at The Inn?

Looks like I’m not the only one on the move. Having just survived a move of my own household, I can more than relate to both the stress and feelings of overwhelmingness (okay, I made up that word but I’m allowed as it’s my blog:), as well as to the excitement and moments of giddiness when another box is unpacked and forgetting about the zillion more left as I stop for a coffee or cocktail break.

Anywhoo, one of my fave students, Mr M & M, is on the move. Fortunately he is moving to another residence that I teach at. It’s like a 5 star hotel, this new place. Mr. M & M seems a bit agitated by the move. He has a wee bit of harmless forgetfulness that is more frustrating for him than dangerous and I think that plays a part in his feelings about the move. The place he is leaving is super too. It’s smaller and cozier than the new place which is more like a palace than a place but to Mr. M & M it all just signifies something new and new things are harder when you are older.

I was talking with him about the move a week before it was to happen and he leaned over to me and said, “you know this place costs a lot of money!” I told him I knew that and that if he was going to pay all that money he might as well go to the new palace and pay the same $$ for a new view both inside and out. This made him smile-goal achieved! I also told him he was living the dream of the Jeffersons of the 1970’s sitcom era of ‘moving on up.’ He grinned but I’m not sure if he knew why:)

I love Mr. M & M. He really is a super soul. I will see him tomorrow as I am teaching at his old place and his swanky new one and I am sure he will have lots to say!
