The beginning of another 'era'!

We've closed our beloved St Anthony's Canossian Convent!! [SACC] [Thankfully, the Schools will remain!] I am sooooo sorry and really sad that the convent of my school days has been closed! Upon reflection and looking at the situation, I have to admit that there really isn't much of a choice :( It's all been cleared, only the building stands and that too, not for long. So much love had been poured into it's building but the love will surely remain even if the building doesn't. Upon my return I considered going to say 'goodbye' but.. I don't have the heart to do that so, now all that is left to be done is to now clear what has been collected from SACC. The remnants of books, furniture and loads of other stuff. I have avoided looking at all that has been salvaged, but that's quite impossible, there's stuff [and good stuff too!] in every corner of the convent I now live in and so... I'll do my share of clearing and feel the heartache as I wade through the library books especially. The library was a special place of really good books. I am grateful that the good books have been saved.. now for the sorting.
"Dear God... As this new 'era' begins, give me the grace to let go of SACC with a whole heart so that I many give my best to where I am and basically, 'bloom where I'm planted'. I know you're here and will give me new life in this community and convent, so God, 'here I am, I come to do your will'. Pax!
