My Favorite Customers

I have moved hundreds of people over my 34+ years in the relocation industry and met so many interesting people, their families, their neighbors.  But, by far, the most enjoyable customer for me, is moving one of our seniors.  Who are the seniors?  75+ yrs. old or older?  Yes, that would be the age group I enjoy working with the most!  I find that that segment of our population are the most interesting and the most appreciative.  I find great pleasure in listening while they share their stories of their life’s chapters.  Look at photos of their children, or perhaps their wedding, or pets, first homes, disharged from the Armed Services, even some of their more memorible vacations.  Each senior has their own uniqueness and geniune to a fault.    Some  of the senior gals share tips on doing laundry, share a recipe, or show their latest knitting project.  Often times, they teach me how to tend to different houseplants or how to pick fresh vegetables from a garden.  I learn so much from all of them and really enjoy the time spent in an effort to transition them to their new homes.  And the lessons they teach me?  Priceless!

Relophobia

By definition, “relophobia” is the fear of moving or having something moved. We all have fears and phobias. There’s the fear of flying, the fear of heights, we’re phobic about spiders, close spaces,  snakes, and needles just to mention a few. This brings me back to “Relophobia“.   How do you recognize is you have the characteristics of a “relophobic“?

Hello world!

This is my first time ever blogging!  Guess it’s no big deal to the younger generation, but to someone my age?  Well, not that I’m that old…just not quite as advanced in the world of computers as the younger folks.  My initial thoughts when someone mentioned I should start a blog were very mixed.  Should I concentrate on just the news of my industry or perhaps use a blog as a forum to keep my  clients informed and updated?  Or perhaps, could I use this blog to escape the connection of myself with the transportation industry?  Again, as a first-time blogger, not sure what my final decision regarding my blog content, would be?
