I am back in Ireland and slightly over my jet lag.
We have started the process of sorting through and clearing
7 years of a life in a Home.
There is something cleansing about sorting through
the back of dusty cupboards.
It feels good to bin, keep, charity shop, through all of the useful
and useless, meaningless and full of memories, debris that one accumulates.
While the process is cleansing it is also incredibly emotional.
Moments glimpsed in an old photo or a card made by a child.
It is difficult not to dwell on each piece of my past.
I am excited about our new adventure and showing the Kids the city and all it has to offer,
but that doesn't mean it is not with some sadness that I pack away
the detrius and say goodbye to this House that has been our home, the place
where my children have become little men.
As it happens
This person whom I find so inspirational is also
relocating to a different country right now.
She has some very inspiring recent posts about her process.
Having lived the last 2 months out of a suitcase I am being
ruthless and attempting to apply the 'love it or leave it' mantra to
everything I place in the "keep" pile.
Also we will have to fit it all in to a 2 bedroom NYC apartment.
With this on my mind I received this post in my inbox just now, from
A Tiny Victorian Cottage in The Catskills
You don't need a lot of money or square footage to make a beautiful space
Here are some initial photo's of our little slice New York Real Estate
Very much a work in progress but it's a start
