Making the transition

With the amount of people I see experiencing chronic cycling in and out of homelessness one thing always makes me think twice: where does it all go for some people.

About a week ago I was helping someone pack their items and furniture for storage, due to income changes they were required to vacate their home they couldn’t afford further. Knicknack shelves, a roll top desk, entertainment stand...all the usual trappings that make a home.  But it was when we got to the photographs on the wall that they became emotional.

Graphic cues from things we connect with are often the first thing to be taken for granted.  Things part of our lives we don’t think twice about, yet whose presence are creature comforts making life more…lively.
