moving on.

A million ideas swirling in my head. I feel there are at least a dozen blog posts wanting to be written. By writing out what’s been on my mind, maybe I can sort out all the thoughts whirling and then let my mind rest.

Much of what I’ve been thinking about is the utter success of my theme for the year Simplify and Prepare. Having let go of some old projects, cleaned up my varied online accounts, and organized my home, I’m finding that I have more and more time to do the things I want to do (just as I had hoped).

I’ve written about the progress for a few months now. What had been single moments of peace and calm have progressed into almost day-long stretches of “quietness”. I really am moving on from just getting through the days and the chores to where I can now enjoy and do some things for myself.

For the first time in a decade, Christmas isn’t panicking me. In fact, my all-around panic and anxieties are at an all-time low. While this a great step forward, I have to keep reminding my brain that it can relax a bit. It’s hard to adjust to this new sense of calm. But I am sure I’ll find a way to adjust!
