The Door Closing

After 18 years, I will be moving on from the apartment I currently live in. There's been a helpful way of timing in this, I've thought for awhile it's time to move on, and a short time ago I received an email from my management company that my place, along with a couple others, will be renovated. I've found a wonderful new apartment with the help of several people, and it too will become home, I'm sure. There's been such a sense of home within this apartment, I've matured and grown more into the person I really am, I'd worked in education for a time, but over time this field has passed on, it is not the profession that is a true calling, I have found a true place of home and community in workign for and serving in my church. Within these years I've seen that home has also taken root inwardly, I've found a sense of confidence and comfort within my own skin, an inner life has taken hold that is a way of home that will carry forward with me when I build a new life in this apartment. Converting to Catholicism happened within the time I lived in my curent apartment, and so much wothin faith, the inner life, self awareness, and confidence has grown into this. There is much to reflect and savor on from my time within this home, and much to anticiapte as I move forward into the next chapter of my life.
