Paul Graves<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp3\">When you read this column, think of me sitting in our new home in Hillsboro, Oregon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sue and I just moved on March 14 into a new retirement community in downtown Hillsboro, and only five minutes from our son and daughter-in-law. Being close to family was our reason for leaving Sandpoint after 36-plus years. Bittersweet. Still, a geezer-like adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merrill Gardens is a seven-story apartment building. We live on the fourth floor looking west with an enjoyable view of the coastal mountain range. The ocean is about 90 minutes from our new home. Our first days have been filled with unpacking boxes, eating delicious food in the dining room and meeting our new companions in this new life chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding to the value of this column (to me anyway) is that this edition begins my 30th year writing Faith and Values columns for The Spokesman-Review. I\u2019ve been given editorial encouragement to keep writing it, so let\u2019s hope I can write at least until my 30th year is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My spiritual journey in this role has been so important to my well-being, and apparently to many readers over the years. I\u2019m both thankful and humbled. Let\u2019s keep encouraging each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, on the journey to our new home in Hillsboro, we brought with us stories in every box. I counted 115 boxes of various sizes that were put on the moving van. In every box, there were stories and parts of stories that gave meaning to our lives in Sandpoint (and so much earlier).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spiritual nurturing comes from where meaning is absorbed into our memories. Those memories always create a kind of inner terrain shaped by our experiences and our reactions\/responses to those experiences. So, Sue and I put more than books, or kitchen accessories, or spools of thread \u2013 for quilting beautiful art \u2013 into our moving boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we had to downsize \u201cstuff\u201d for our new home, we had to choose what we would take with us that was both practical and memory-keeping, for the new chapter in our lives. Art quilts, photos and paintings were also \u201ctriaged\u201d so we could bring memories with us that were still of significance to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stories in every box and the wall hangings we brought with us weren\u2019t just things. They embodied memories we wanted to \u2013 well, remember. I\u2019d like to think we brought memories with us that will be important to us in the next year, or five years, or however long we need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole idea of down-sizing was at play in our preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most older adults are confronted with the challenges that brings. It\u2019s usually prompted by a move to a smaller home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But down-sizing is necessary at different ages for different reasons. The more spiritual term for it is \u201cletting go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to what you may think, Elsa\u2019s beautiful song \u201cLet It Go\u201d in the animated movie \u201cFrozen\u201d didn\u2019t invent the concept of letting go of things or relationships that matter less than they used to. It\u2019s an ancient, contemplative concept she simply sang into our cultural consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To let go of something (or someone) you used to consider important isn\u2019t a denial of the memory you hold there. It simply reshapes your inner terrain a bit, with the hope that the journey is more nourishing \u2013 maybe easier? \u2013 for you in this moment of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge? Decide which stories you pack up and take with you. Decide which stories hold the memories that nourish your God-given value \u2013 and life-meanings \u2013 as you gaze down your journey\u2019s road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>The Rev.
