This economy has really got a lot of people moving and not always by a choice they wanted to make. My wife and I now find ourselves among those unfortunates feeling that  1 .
At the end of last year, our customers just  2 .  We had to make the painful decision to 3  our office and put our house up for  4 . We haven’t lived in it for two years yet and expected it would be the  5  one for a long time. How   6  this world economic mess is changing our lives!
As I get older, I find moving less adventurous and more  7  . This time, we’re in the process of moving without knowing where we’ll   8  next. Job searching has been thrown into the quagmire(困境) of an unsettled life. Both my wife and I had been feeling pretty  9  from all this. I’ve been challenged to find the positive in all this down that’s  10  us.
But then it happened while I watched my wife  11  things up. She’s an absolute whiz(能手) when it comes to packing. I took delight in watching her  12  just the right boxes for  13  in front of her and filling in the  14  with pillows and towels. I began feeling something like a wind lift me up and sail me through my own  15  of the packing and loading.
Some friends will be helping us with the  16 . I’ve told them that they’re not  17  friends but gaining some new vacation spots.
I have  18  that we’ll get through this transition finally. We all will always have work to do, by choice or  19 , and we can also consciously make the effort to create a sense of  20  in a new place.
