Moving can be a positive experience. When I was younger, it was an opportunity for me to contribute and make a difference. It was a chance to be creative and see things from a new perspective. Gladly, I have other, less draining ways of accomplishing all of those qualities!
Moving at 50 and balancing several health issues is daunting at best. Instead of being responsible for my universe of stuff, I have an entire household to put back together, better than before. HGTV makes it look so motivating. It’s all- encompassing and I haven’t even mentioned the bruises! Yikes!
As a writer, I’ve scribbled a few lines in the journal that will become the story of my heart event. I see the beginning of a shift between placing and purging to putting pen to paper. It’s hard to put my passion in the back seat. I have to remind myself that it’s temporary. My circumstance will not outlast my love for storytelling. I’ve said it before in other ways, no matter what is happening in life, write about it or simply write!
