I figured out this morning that since I fractured my left foot in New York City, I have had a series of “I don’t care daysâ€. Too many things, all at once.
Fractured left foot (rare fracture, too)
Had to pack and move (again)
However, I met a financial goal so something good came about (right?)
I haven’t blogged for weeks (a month?)
Do you know how difficult it is to pack with a foot in a walking boot and crutches? Thankfully, my close friend, Christine, came to the rescue, and I found other help from Nextdoor. Interestingly enough, the move was much smoother this time. Note: I highly recommend Crosstown Movers in the Treasure Valley.
The universe did me a favor with this move: I no longer have to plan my life around an Airbnb I was managing. I don’t hear noise from the guests nor deal with drama. I don’t have to worry about my phone ringing early in the mornings or the television volume too loud at night. Yes, the rental was attached to the house.
The positive side is that my business is thriving. My friendships have become a source of family for me. I feel safer in my new quiet setting. I now have days when I can get back to a routine of sorts and feel settled. And my sister and friends supported me 100%. I am so very grateful.
It took some work to not let this get me down, though. I kept telling myself all the good things that would happen and that were happening to me. But I have to admit, it is not always so easy to be so positive. It’s easy to go down a rabbit hole when things don’t work out as planned.
That’s when being vulnerable became a calling card to recognize a few choices I was making were detrimental to being happy. Letting go has been the best option to move forward. Letting go of things I wasn’t using or wearing, letting go of furniture that won’t fit in the new place, letting go of the art pieces that would not work in my new place. Believe it or not, the new place has lots of windows! I am surrounded by light! No more dark walls (who started that trend anyway?). Lots of windows meant less wall space but my pieces are going to great homes. That makes me happy.
Life is a choice, choices can either have consequences or have affirmations.
I choose life.
