Aaahh!! Relief. Pure and utter joy. All the hard-things-to-do are in my in my rear view mirror. Until the replacement set of things-to-do take up the space vacated. Out with the old, in with the new.
Each and every time I cleaned house, I literally made space for the next turn of events.
My first home began with a clean slate. I bought a brand new townhouse, moved in with my one-year-old and everything we needed to make a home.
The next move meant abandoning that very home and everything in it, with my two children. Another fresh, new slate in a brand new location.
My next home became a home where many transitions happened under that roof. My oldest moved out, my youngest was born, a daycare was created, a daycare was dismantled, which made room for Mom's belongings, soon I had enough excess to furnish an entire second home, when the excess moved out, my former employers files and filing cabinets moved in and three years after that, all those files moved back out and so did I.
I moved into that little home, once filled with the excess from my long time home and those furnishings have bit-by-bit been replaced with furnishings of my own choosing. A little bit of "Mom" sprinkled here, there and everywhere accessorized with a little touch of "me".
This little house has become home. It is a lovely little spot in the universe. I think I'll stay.
But for today? I am simply going with the flow and breathing in every moment of contentment I am feeling. This too, shall pass. So I will savor the moment while it is within my grasp.
Home Sweet Home
