I know, I know… I haven’t been around lately. Basically, I’ve been MIA. What’s going on, you ask? Remember when I said I was holding onto a secret, some news? Well, it wasn’t necessarily a big deal to anyone but me and my family: We moved.
Do you hear crickets?
I know it’s not as exciting as you thought it would be, but it’s pretty exciting around these parts. The goal for my move is to continue along the lines of organize and minimize with the result being a stress free and calm existence to deal with my everyday life, which includes my health issues, taking care of my children and alleviating circumstances that cause distress. One of those distresses was my home, which needs major repairs and whatnot on top of regular expenses.
My children and I moved into an apartment. It’s actually the first time I’ve lived in a “regular” apartment complex so it’s a new experience for me. And, like with anything, there are ups and downs. Moving has taken a lot out of me physically, but I am excited about getting everything in order. As you can see there are quite a few boxes (and that’s only about 1/2 of what needs to be done) and I’m tackling a little a day at a time.
As things fall into place I’ll share pictures with you so you’ll get a peek at the old and the new. Let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts on organizing and minimizing my new space. I’ve already gotten rid of so much stuff through giving away and throwing away… and I still have quite a few things that I’d like to sell. It’s been a total mental and material release.
Now you see why I have been so absent lately. Thanks for continuing to come by and say hello; I appreciate your continued support and promise to be around to see you soon.

I was wondering where you'd gone.
Congrats on your new home! I hope you can settle in quickly and that it's everything you hoped it would be!
Hope the move is going well. Rest when you need it! :O)
I hope the process of settling in goes smoothly and quickly. Take breaks as you need to: the boxes will still be there. :)
Good luck at getting settled peacefully and in a non stressed way. I hope you're getting your rest and taking it at a relaxed pace.
The unpacking part isn't fun but hopefully you have plenty of hands to help out. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your new place.
Well, I'm glad that you have less to take care of with all that you have going on, Petula. I hope you get settled quickly and come back to blogging--miss ya!
Congratulations on the new move. I can relate to wanting to simplify life to cause less stress.
Well, it appears the both of us have taken a mini-blog break as a result of tending to other things in our lives. I haven't moved, but I have made some moves in life, if that counts.
Hope you are able to get the well-needed rest that moving from one place to another assures that your body will need.
Hope you are in good spirits, as well.
You were missed! I hope you get things situated soon and can find some calm!
i always think moving is so exciting too! hope your enjoying it and planning out your furniture, decor etc.
And yes get some pics for us soon!
Congrats on the move, sweetie!! Anything that makes it easier for you, I say, WAY TO GO!
