celebrating the me yet to come

you would not believe the things I resent doing now that I know I'll be moving out in 3 months. and I have just figured out that life in a diminutive domain requires adjustments and lots of stress. and probably a subscription to Elle Decor magazine. because I also suck at feng shuing.

my world lately is like a jigsaw puzzle that needs assembling. you know, the 3000 pieces ones. yet my sons' spirits glow on almost every surface, distilling "I love you Mommy" and providing a getaway for my soul to renew. and the little steps I take every day are hopefully leading me to a better version of myself. consistently more peaceful. words, prayers and thoughts resonating in consonance. reading more, writing more. taking daily walks to achieve alignment. firmly believing that a healthy body is more valuable than a flat tummy. and counting my blessings.

thank you all so much.

irene, CONGRATS! haha you won, you won!

moving a family is not an easy task. i'm feeling it right now (i've been helping my bro's family pack up their belongings for a move in 2 weeks). but it's a lot easier when you take bigger tasks and make them smaller, get them done little bit at a time. i'm glad to hear that you're allowing yourself moments to recharge and regather during the puzzle jumble that is life. take care of yourself!

It sounds like you are at a good place right now, even with the stress of moving looming overhead. Keep smiling!
