A sea of boxes!

A sea 🌊 of boxes!

It’s been about a week since my family’s move to the new place. Moving day was a grueling 12 hours! We filled 2 moving trucks! I didn’t think we had that much stuff. I got rid of so much… My mom still has to move in her stuff.

Sometimes it’s hard to breathe when I think about what is left to be done. Our house needs to be cleaned and rented out. I need to help my mom purge and pack. Then help with my mom’s big move. Then help unpack her stuff!

When I start to feel overwhelmed, I think about how I am not promised tomorrow, so why worry about it? Tomorrow has enough worry of its own! Focus on one day at a time. Only think about the work to do each day and it will eventually all get done. This has helped me tremendously through many difficult times in my life. When I look back, I wonder how I did it. The truth is I had help from God who kept me sane and at peace. 🙏🏻

My daughter Emily came over for an entire day and helped me unpack and set up my art room. I’m so blessed to have such a helpful and talented daughter! After we were finished, we had tea together at the tea table we set up!❤️☕️

This space has such beautiful light and an amazing view! I can’t wait to spend time on the balcony overlooking the water.  It needs 🌱 🪴 plants! It’s a place of inspiration. I am truly blessed.  I can’t wait to start creating again!

The movers had a heck of a time getting my giant heavy cabinet up the stairs! We cheered at their accomplishment!

I will share more about the house as it unfolds!

Thanks for reading! 💕🙏🏻

See you next time!
