I watched them load the trailer with pieces of furniture that I loved and cherished but really no longer fit in my life and it was just kind of strange. It was cutting of ties to memories to the past, which is healthy, but I was taken aback by those emotions. My daughter carefully packed the crystal and china that she wanted and I watched some of my memories and dreams go in the box with each piece. It wasn't really sad, but I can't quite put my finger on what it was. I do know, though that it was one more step in making my home mine and that feels good.
On the flip side, though, I now have a wonderful office space where all my work can be consolidated and organized! No more work in the sunroom, no more boxes in my bedroom! I am excited about that! Tomorrow I will start moving things into the empty room and trying to find a place for all the crystal that was left! I can't wait to show you some before and after pictures!
