My holiday guest has left and last night was my first real night by myself. It was great. I got a lot accomplished and enjoyed some reading and of course online surfing.
Going through a closet, I found several items which I had thought didn't make it in the move. It got me thinking that I have way too much stuff. Stuff I don't need and didn't even remember that I had, and I just moved and went through everything eight months ago! I think back to how easy it was too move just about 7 years ago...I had a bed and a few personal things that I could pack up and move in about a day. Now it takes me several days of careful packing, organizing and then actually moving. Geesh! And it's still only me! I have found that in the last several months, I am not adding to the physical "baggage" that I have. I am hoping to keep it that way, and don't think I will have any problems with that.
The nice thing about going through things is that it gives me a chance to look back and remember. Good times, bad times, funny times, and of course, sad times. While some of this could be viewed as baggage, I would not be the same without it. I have learned from my past what not to do in my future, or at the very least, to do it or approach it differently. Probably the most important lesson that I learned was to realize when to let go.
About Me
- Julie
- I am a transplant to the West from central Iowa...loving it so far. In my late twenties I realize that I am truly finding myself now...not sure why it has taken me so long, however, I have enjoyed the journey so far. I am a people person and have appreciated meeting many interesting individuals since my arrival in Missoula. I am an honest, hardworking, creative, adventurous, go getter type of person that just can't sit still for too long. I'm always up for trying something new and look forward to the future, while living in the present and learning from the past.
