I don’t know about you, but I dread moving. All that sorting, packing, giving things away, or throwing them out. We have new neighbors across the street. It’s their second day in the house and the woman didn’t even want to walk to the mailbox at the end of her driveway. She is exhausted.
We joked about how we could do things when we were younger that now must be accomplished in smaller steps. That got me thinking about different perspectives on moving day. Someone in grade school that is forced to move away from friends and school because their mom took a new job in another city has a different perspective than the mom. Someone who has a moving company pack and move them, will have a different perspective from one who has to pack everything themselves. Someone who is moving into their first house has a different perspective than someone leaving the house they have lived in for 40 years. And what about pets?

About Dragonborn by Donna Sundblad
Dragonborn conjures up a winning fantasy with dragons, humans, time travel, and magic. Follow the journey of the young prisonguard, Ervig Greenfields, as he seeks out dragons to remove a curse. The dragons offer him access to the Labyrinth of Times, which will purge the dark magic. But there’s a catch. Erving must take the Dragon Oath that requires allegiance--to fight alongside dragons for centuries, never to return to his own time. He and a handful of others take the selfless oath and become Dragonborn. The Dragonborn and their dragons become seeds of change, in this epic tale, of sacrifice for the greater good. Ride along with them as they slip through a tear in time to the past to change the future.
