There are so many boxes everywhere!!! My apartment is like a maze of boxes. My suburban is filling quickly and the movers won't move my indoor plants. Those I can't give away. I will squeeze them into the truck. The movers also decided after packing my apartment that my storage unit will need a smaller truck to load its items. They'll transfer those items to the big truck at the warehouse. The costs keep growing!
When I took a packing break and had original recipe KFC (the movers were sick of free pizza) on my balcony, I looked at a few golfers playing. The man had a swing with a low rotation off to the side. The woman practiced her swing so beautifully, and then when she actually hit the ball lost her follow through! I was amazed at myself for even knowing this. I don't play golf---I just have watched so many golfers over the last 1.5 years! lol
Earlier, I saw the last item from my former marriage drive away. My buddy who's a local mover and former summer-school-teacher co-worker took it off my hands. My master bedroom set is at a charity now. I've got a clean slate to start my second half of my life!
My clean slate is still decoratively bordered with my great friendships that I've made over the last 17 years. I feel fortunate that I have so much love in my life from my friends, family, and former students. When I made my 2012 New Year's resolution to find love, God made sure to remind me that I already have a lot given to me. I guess that I should have said, "I want to find romantic love in 2012."
Actually, I did find that love, too. However, as with everything else in my life, it's so complicated! If that is the love that God intended for me, it will happen. He'll get a job in Sacramento. Wouldn't that be miraculous? That'd be an undeniable sign from God that the man who made my heart go pitter pat in January was more than fun on adventures. He was God's choice for me. If he doesn't get a job in Sacramento, then we had a fabulous time together during our four days of adventure.
For now, I have to focus on moving, becoming great at my new job, and finding a time to finish my third edit of my second book. I've got a clean slate to organize and make shine after all!
