Now, your life has adherence to a principal ofter wrongly quoted as being said by Aristotle “Whole is more than the sum of its parts“. It is, therefore, true that the quality of your life depends on more than simply how much items you own, how many square feet of your apartment, what you eat, etc. It depends on how you feel, and what you do with the things you have. So… you might now be thinking “ what does this has to do with my post-move paperwork“?
After the move
Well, after your move by Murray Hill movers, when your life is to be reassembled, you also have to put back those not-so-visible parts of your life that matter greatly for your life. For example, you have to meet new friends, neighbors, find new hobbies or new places for old ones, etc… but you also have to do things like making sure you can vote, that you have electricity, water and the rest of utilities, that you have accesses to post and that you can use medical facilities in the vicinity.
