I was just standing in the kitchen savoring the enjoyment of an in-season peach and thinking about how maybe, just maybe I haven't drifted as far away from the movement as I had thought. I'm wearing the same hand-me-down sweater from my best friend that I've worn and loved to death for the last 3 years, I thought of how little I have thrown away on this move and how much that makes me feel like maybe I haven't accumulated as much as I thought, I thought about how the items I have gotten rid of has tended to be recycled or passed on to others who would enjoy those items much more than I have, I relished in the fact that I just checked my credit history for the first time and all is well, and I applauded the fact that while I've been living here my housemate has switched to healthier laundry detergent and bought an outdoor drying rack.
The last 36 hours have been spent visiting with friends and colleagues, watching interesting live stream Netflix movies and documentaries, and skimming through some of the magazines from the stack. It's been nice to feel reconnected again, to feel fulfilled, to have that freedom that tugs at the soul. It's been nice to feel that desire to blog again and to thrive for that connection to others that better align with my "authentic" values.
My sleep has been sporadic the last two nights, but I'm sure it's due to excitement at moving and this next chapter of life, while also a range of other emotions that I have swirling about in terms of actually leaving this place....leaving what has been home for so long now. However I'm hopeful all these changes will be positive and that the doors will continue to open widely for us.
Here's hoping each of you is having your own fulfilling day!
