As many of my friends know...Last Thursday was moving day.

I've had a challenging past few years - including watching Mom go through treatment for incurable Lymphoma, my Dad dieing recently, and hurtful times involving my son - this move was both a VERY good thing and a difficult decision to leave my dear friends and my Mom. Thursday, I busted my ass loading the truck and making sure my car was secured safely to the dolly. Thursday and the past few weeks were extremely taxing on me - mentally and especially physically. Friday, I had a horrible start to my day...but enjoyed a late breakfast with Mom...then finally headed South with a piece of crap truck with car in tow.

It's been a very long time since I made such a big move out of state. Even when I think about the challenges & hardships I've faced, I sincerely believe making the decision to move to my new Home is the BEST thing that's happened to me in what feels like a lifetime.

Friday when I first started driving, I had so much on my mind that it was too hard to focus just on driving...and I was so distracted with looking out my rear view mirrors at the cars beside me and the trailer that I was towing, that I wasn't REALLY paying attention to what was in front of me. I was constantly watching what was behind me. I had been following the same vehicle towing a large camper for about 30-40 miles, but was just really nervous about my trailer and what was behind me. Suddenly, I realized with a JOLT what was written on the back of that camper... in large bold print, it said "The Best Is Yet To Come!" ...

I read it again, still stunned that I hadn't noticed it before...
"The BEST Is Yet To Come!" ... that one statement hit me with such a jolt because of all the negative things and stress my mind had been focused on that morning. This really brought me joy because it's confirmation of how I've been feeling lately... it's time to stop focusing on the past and things I have had no control over, and time to start focusing on the BEST things ahead of me.

That statement added a bolt to my confidence and made me feel that I can sincerely focus on positive changes.

I am still a bit in shock about finding that message on the back of a camper... but it was a really fun, happy message.
All I can say is wow, I needed to see this too ......... thanks for posting Sweet
