Change

Right now I feel the uncertainty of my surroundings as I am living in a sea of packed boxes.  I am having to slow down to the speed of my life and it is very uncomfortable.  I am use to my nest being organized, available, and comfortable.  Right now it is none of these.

The house is “staged” and ready for the photographer to come in to take the pictures for the internet.  Living in a state of perfection is not the greatest.  Yes, it is clean and it looks nice but it doesn’t have the lived in feeling that I relish.    I guess this is all just part of what is necessary to release this house to some wonderful buyers that will allow me to move to Oklahoma.

Even the puppies I live with are feeling change and at times, stay very close and others, want nothing to do with me.  When I want snuggly, warm, furry bodies to hug, none are available. 

I am very grateful that I am able to pack up my treasurers and take them with me.  There were times in my life when that was not an option and it still makes me sad that I had to give up some very wonderful things. 

Every move allows us to get rid of and move on.  Granted, there is stuff in my life that is easy to recycle.  I sometimes wish it were as easy to recycle the baggage in mind as it is in reality. 

Life goes on and I am ready for a new adventure in sleet, snow and ice.  Winter will truly afford me the time to snuggle in, recharge, and maybe get some serious writing done. 

Either way, I am looking forward to the new and different, as I remember to stay present and realize that I have some things to complete and to close the book on 2013.  All is well and I feel thoroughly blessed in every way.  Happy New Year.
