Moving Day... postponed

Thanks to the snow my moving day was postponed. I was scheduled to move all my stuff from my apartment to the storage unit yesterday... but the snowstorm squashed that plan. Packing is no fun, I pack and pack and it looks like I haven't even made a dent. But eventually it was all done. I am ready for the movers to come tomorrow morning!

So here I am, at the start of my journey. My first stop will be Bensalem, PA. Yes, very close to home - this stop is more like the pilot ... the test for how well I do at minimalism. I've learned quickly I am not good at minimalism. This week will be about taking note of what I really need and what can go back to storage. And it's not that I have more clothes than I need, it's more about the 'stuff' I bring with me. Way too much stuff! My plan is to decide how many bags I will allow myself to take and anything that doesn't fit in them doesn't come on the trip! That's the plan ... now I just have to stick to the plan! Wish me luck! I know that's going to be the hard part.

As I get ready for this journey, I'm most often asked either "Are you excited?" or "Are you nervous?" ... I have to say, I am not nervous at all. There is not one ounce of angst inside me as I think about and prepare for it. Sometimes I wonder, 'should I be worried?' Am I crazy not to be, even a little? But then I realize I'm not nervous or worried about purposefully making myself, essentially, homeless because it just feels right. Yes, I am so excited. and at the same time, I'm calm and ready!
