We've arrived.
At our new temporary home. Another temporary home. And it's great. I feel it's the best one so far. The one that is closest to what we want our own home to be like. Such a gift.
I'm not fully here yet. Still in the dream. It's only been a few hours.
Maybe I stay in the dream. Maybe it's all a dream anyway. On days like this I can feel it so clearly, the dreamlike fabric of life.
It's been a practice in letting go, today especially, and the whole journey to get here. A practice in going with the flow and not thinking. I can't change the dream anyway, I'm already in it, it's all done. So no point in resisting.
Just show me the path and I will walk it. And enjoy it as best as I can. I do.
There's so much green around here.
I'm looking forward to picking greens for lunch Tomorrow. Also to spending time in my own room. I will have my own room for the first time in five years. When I said I wouldn't do a house-sit without having a room to myself, I meant it. And so it happened. So so grateful. I'll be doing much art there, just by myself. Music and writing and beautiful things. All by myself. Undisturbed.
One step at a time.
It's still not ours, which is bothering me, but we're gonna make this house our own for the next few months. We will be good caretakers, loving guardians.
And the house will keep us safe and warm as best as it can. Obviously It has to play a role in our lives and I'm excited to see what it will be.

What a great adventure. I'm glad you like your new temporary home.
Yes, that's how I should view it, thank you 😊 I'm pretty tired of adventure, but I really want to see all the good things. Thanks for the reminder ❤️
It kind of made me laugh when I read "I'm pretty tired of adventure".... I know you didn't mean it that way so much, but of course when I commented, I had no idea really that it wasn't something you looked forward too.
Believe me, I have to remind myself sometime that I can love it or I can hate it, but it's still happening, I detest making my own self miserable... so I am pretty quick to try to find some way to enjoy part of it. I would have gone insane a long time ago if I didn't, I just know it! Maybe you will get some fun surprises out of it.
Make up a story about who you are and why you are there and turn it into a great fiction story. Post about it like it is real. 😄
Haha, great you didn't notice my stupid self-pity in my post ^^ Means I wrote from the part of me that IS very grateful and happy to be here.
I'm longing for some kind of stability and I'm just a little grumpy that this place is again only a temporary home.
I just need to find my rhythm here and all is good. This place is pretty perfect and I love it.
I'm already feeling better today, got some more hints like yours yesterday and decided to stop whining right away and start enjoying 😄👍
What a difference a day makes !
We all need a little rant once in a while. Sometimes I rant out loud, here alone. I think it helps to "voice" it persay and get it out of our system.
I understand the desire for that stability. Since I have been on my own, about 26 years, I have rented and although there are parts of it I don't mind, like not being financially responsible if the plumbing or the roofing goes wrong, I would still love a place that I would never need to leave unless I could no longer be independent. Most of the moves I have made were my choice, but some were not. Someone else would take over and change the rents sky high and I would choose not to play the game and move on.
I do hope you find some joyful surprises where you are.
Yay!! This looks like a lovely place to live for a while, and so nice to have your own room 🍀
It will be for sure, it's so quiet here, away from civilization and in the forest. Abundance all around. We're slowly moving in and getting acquainted with how things work here, and then I can start creating again 😊
Happy to hear this! Enjoy 🤗✨
