  I had a great day with a couple of my adult kids yesterday, and a lot of healing happened on the side. I've been moving into my house for what feels like forever 😉 and after I had gotten everything out of the UBoxes that I could move alone, my son and his partner arrived to help move the big stuff. In preparation I thought through the best plan, what to move in first at the far end of the house to keep the path clear for the next items, what to place where so the most immediate things...

  My last moving deadline is met. 🥹 My UBoxes are empty in time for them to come get them, and my camper is empty and clean and ready for its new owner to come meet it tomorrow. I have no more deadlines to meet except for, you know, my job. 😉 Now I get to move at my own pace and do what I feel like doing. I am happily ensconced on my living room couch, the living room that consists of just this couch shoved against the bank of windows facing the view. The rest of my living room looks like a sto...

  @Jonricha @alchemistsstudio The movement of the colors, the way the shine catches the light, short and squatty like me! What's not to love! 🥰

  Sitting in the corner of my couch, looking out my windows at the darkness and weeping. (It's ok. This is good.) The other day I wrote, "My next layer of recovery work will be around my tendency to be overwhelmingly fearful of a task, avoiding it for way too long, then finally doing it and realizing it was not that big of a deal. I need to spend a season (please do not hear a quarter of a year but 'enough time') to hear me well and discern the pattern and begin t...

  Gave my brain at the house this week. Unpacking = at least 75 decisions an hour that must all be immediately and permanently retained so one can remember where that brown bag of lids to everything now resides, for example. But. One decision was this end of season great price bench. So I'm kinda rockin' it. Do people still say that? Rockin' it? Well, I believe I am. 😵‍💫😆😵‍💫

  @alchemistsstudio That is gorgeous! 🥰

  I will have been in my house one month on Monday and this is my first morning where I stopped, got dressed up warm, and sat on my bench on the bluff and watched the sunrise. This feels like a turning point in the saga that has been moving that began in March. Let me put it this way: I will happily die here, for the beauty absolutely, but also to never ever move again. 😆 [Alt Text: The foreground is still in shadows but shows a woodsy landscape and a cedar bench sitting on the bluff looking o...

  @lifewithtrees @alchemistsstudio From your house to mine! 🥰 [Alt text: Two raku vases - look up 'raku', it's fascinating - on a window sill in my hallway, with the window looking out toward my baby forest. One of the vases is taller, slender at the neck but has a very round full base (I was going to say 'bottom' but 'round full bottom started sounding a bit lewd 😆) and is mostly green with some burnished coppery and maroon tones splashed across...

  @lifewithtrees *grins* [Alt text: This picture is from before I moved into my house. I'm standing against the whitish wall in my bedroom looking out the white trimmed window at what will be my view. There's a cedar tree within ten feet of the window. I can see the gray base of the tree and a handful of bright green moss covered branches on the far side. The sun peaks through and lights up the ground further on.]

  I really thought when I got everything out of boxes, when I sold my camper and saw it roll away down the road with Dave, taking her to her next owner, a woman like me investing in the next bit of her future, when settling everything I owned into its proper place even if it was on the side of the road so it could be adopted, and my house was no longer a giant slide puzzle, that if I moved this thing, then that thing and that thing and that thing also had to move (I spent days with a giant bean ba...

  @alchemistsstudio I want to put it on a south facing window sill and watch it light up differently all day long. 🥰

  @thelepper I love you. 🥰

  Some pieces just came together in my brain. I moved into my new house in late August and I'm still not 'done'. There are days when I'm working on wall art and there are days when I'm sorting a closet or making a recycle run of empty moving boxes. There are days when I have a table out at the road's edge with free items that miraculously disappear. There are days when I do nothing because my brain just can't make anymore decisions. There are...
