BETWEEN HERE AND THERE

I have been trying to live my life in the Now, but…. There were so many things to go back and tend to that happened over the time I was away, it is almost like I have to relive the 62 days in this environment.  Add to this that I am tearing up the house to fix the floors, get new carpets and finish organizing the basement… There are stacks of furniture, clothing, book and stuff in many corners.  It has moved from stuff to organized downsize, but it is that in between space.    In the meantime, I am trying to finish a few projects, get the yard ready for relaxing and trying to keep up with correspondence, my meditation, and my food program.   It took hours to get the pictures off the little Acer and into my computer for review. I haven’t looked at one or edited, but they are in this computer.  I bracketed many and did raw and jpg so there are an incredible number of duplicates and some are just junk… It took hours to download some CD’s that Jim wanted… and hours to sort a bookcase etc.. hours to research and book some airlines for Jim’s vacation  . but 7 months later, the windows are in and almost finished, I have a plan for each space, know what I am keeping and tossing, and still managing some social time.   The storms are in process as well as the pillar trim… so I have many projects that I am the contractor for  and many project to do.  I need a vacation.   The good thing, I see a light in the tunnel and there has been much progress toward really getting my shelter to be my castle…. I love what I see, but where is the wand that just makes it happen… I looked at my closet the other day and thought…my life is between sizes… not thin enough for the goal clothes but not fat enough to look ok in the larger sizes… I am in between…
