You know how one can sometimes feel a bit lost in the turmoil of change? That's exactly what's happening in our family. This in-between place is awkward! Having a wonderful and exciting new beginning ahead of us (but being unable to actually move forward) is frustrating. We know this will pass and we know that we'll get there eventually (deep breath). Eyes on the horizon. Steady on.
We've been in regular contact with my parents (who are already at the new place) and we've all been making exciting plans for our future together. Ideas are springing forth and my mind is spinning with the practicalities of how we can turn this new property into a productive and diverse oasis of food. Many opportunities exist so it's hard not to get too excited... Eyes on the horizon. Steady on.
In the meantime, we are deep in the process of divesting. Our lovely laying hens have gone to their new home which is sad and happy all at the same time. It's one more step in the process of our relocation but it was a tough one... Eyes on the horizon. Steady on.
Before we know it, I'll be sitting in my rocker beside my Mom on that lovely front verandah sipping tea while watching our new chicks learn to peck and scratch. All will be well. Eyes on the horizon. Steady on.
THAT HOUSE IS ADORABLE!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW it is so different to the houses we have in Australia, I love it!
I feel your frustration, I'd be chomping at the bit to get in there too!
LOL! Yes, it's quite sweet isn't it? There's a lovely sunroom off the kitchen in back (not pictured). I am imagining it FULL of seedlings and fermenting this and that plus a sewing table, etc LOL It has wonderful light.
DeleteCheryl's right, its so different from our homes in Oz and very much the stuff of our dreams. So quaint.
DeleteOh my goodness Sherri it's divine!
ReplyDeleteWe too are in limboland, not a nice place to be. But it is giving us time to do a massive declutter and get organised.
You're so right about limbo-land being a good time to declutter and take stock. It's amazing how fast our needs change with a family - kids grow up and move out, little ones become older and interests change...
DeleteEyes on the horizon, facing West...you WILL get there and I'm happy to hear you're making plans with your parents and hubby. A beautiful home for a beautiful family xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you for the positive thoughts, Sue XO
DeleteHi Sherri - I find in-between-times are anxious and wakeful....day at a time I guess.
ReplyDeleteMe as well, Phil. It will all work out...
DeleteBeautiful family home....it takes time. I'm still adjusting to all my changes and still unpacking boxes. "Steady On"
