90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge ~ Day 46 {changes}

Changes are afoot. One of my sons has moved back in with me while between homes of his own. The editing of my home in the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge is a major change. Together they may bring more challenges. Read my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Manifesto!!

A Recovering Magpie Changes

I am learning the dance of change and how to move easily with the beat. The rhythm of the ebb and flow of life is no longer masked by stuff. I can dance in the middle of my rooms because there is a space for that now that my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge is starting to reveal its magic.

{Coming clean} I have a long way to go! I am giddy at the moment in celebration of 46 days and the beginning of the second half of this challenge.

My Summer Simplifying Challenge

I take the time to look around me this evening. I am beginning to feel at home here. I am feeling the peace that one should feel in their home. I can see what needs to be done without feeling the overwhelm I did a month or so ago. My Summer Simplifying Challenge is revealing things to me I never imagined.

I have a desire to decorate once again for the pure joy of making my space a home. Until I began the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge, it was just a container for my stuff. It felt more like an overstuffed antique store than a place of rest and peace. I still need loads of editing in the rooms, but the Seeds of the New Me are looking at the process differently. I can edit and pare down the things I no longer need, want or desire in my life.

Things either work or they don’t…it is that simple. Today I start on the shelves in the library. They are a jumbled mess at this point. I am going to do one or two each day until they reflect the joy I feel and the song in my heart. There are decisions to be made and things to let go of, but it is manageable because I know the outcome.

Today’s Accomplishments

1. One shelf addressed, sorted and things placed into the ‘outta here’ boxes!
2. Household cleaning tasks continue.

Today’s Setbacks

1. Dealing with my son moving in was a little chaotic.
