Thoughts on Moving

Whew! It's over. We are moved in, unpacked and resuming a "normal" life. It feels great to have the house set up and only a half dozen boxes left to unpack . We are all excited about creating our new life in a new town. And, surprisingly, I will actually miss the moving process a little bit.

I know I got really tired of packing boxes, and we didn't enjoy having boxes stacked up all around the new house. However, I do love the clean, fresh feeling of moving. We spent months paring down, clearing out and getting rid of things we don't need or don't use. We spent 2 days cleaning the new house from top to bottom. And it all feels great. That light, fresh feeling of traveling light (well, as light as you can when you have 2 kids, 2 guinea pigs and a dog). That's the feeling I like about moving. It just gets rid of a lot of stagnant energy and unused stuff and allows room for new, exciting things.

It feels so great I'm recommending it to you. While I'm guessing you probably aren't ready to pick up and move, you can clear out the clutter in your life and allow room for fresh air and new opportunities. Whether it's a closet, a room, your office or your calendar, I highly recommend setting aside a little time to clear it out. Then notice what happens in your life. See what changes and what new things come into your life. Keep me posted and I'll keep you posted on mine.
