    Granted, it's been over 25 years since I moved and it can be a very stressful experience depending on circumstances, but it can also be freeing and nostalgic...going through your stuff, the memories, clearing out the waste, etc.  Starting anew.

    My mind has been a bit too full lately.  I'd rather that than it be empty, but jeesh.

    True. I got a lot done today. It feels great to downsize and get rid of a bunch of stuff that you don't need anymore. It's always fun looking at old photo albums and finding things you forgot you had. I've felt like a 90 year old grandmother trying to give all her stuff away lately lol.

    Most things about moving sucks, but I agree with Hedo - it can be freeing.

    And the last time I moved I rediscovered a lot of wonderful books as I unpacked them and put them on the new shelves, so there's that.

    ^You got this Oceans ;)

    I let life take me where it wanted to go this week and ended up exactly where I needed to be.

    IT has been Rocked Hedo!!  :rock_on: ^Cool song! And yeah...it's ok to let "baby" slip every once in a while.. ;)

    Being in nature this week grounded and put me in such a phenomenal mindspace.  Really hoping to continue this feeling when the bottom of reality drops out Monday morning.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    I'm travelling to Glasgow for a bit of a Pearl Jam meet up on Saturday and I'm very nervous about it. There are a couple of people I'm looking forward to meeting but more that I'm desperate to avoid! Kind of regretting deciding to go but having booked and paid for it all I'm not going to back out now
