Things are in disarray but I am being graceful and understanding about it. The pieces of my home are beginning to come together, but there is a necessary unraveling that coincides with minimizing junk and finding new and permanent homes for the things my husband and I would like to cherish and keep. It’s a process, and one that can leave me feeling anxious and unsettled (like clutter having to remain out to be dealt with the following day, etc). I’m choosing to take deep breaths and remember that the disruption means calm is coming and needed change is a part of that.

Yesterday I was confronted with an issue I sometimes struggle with. My dog had a vet appointment at 4pm, and my husband and I had a late start to the day - meaning as soon as my morning routine was done, I was left feeling like I had no time between then (realistically noon) and when we had to leave … so I lounged around and got very little done.

The woman I am becoming recognizes the possibilities in every hour. The next time this happens I’m going to remember this journal entry, and choose to use my time more wisely.

Friends came over in the evening for a catch up chat. My husband and I spent a bit of time on the couch and he washed my hair in the shower for me before we headed to bed.
