What do I mean by landing back to self? Well, moving is stressful to everyone involved with the endeavor! It’s a time of concern, worry, and well shear madness it has seemed. Fraught with anxieties, triggers, thought after thought____ and then it is finally over! There you are! Deflating and returning to the self. The new floundering around finally settles.

Settling takes time. In this case? Some 24 days, I think. Almost a month. The time has moved fast! Here I am in a new home that feels cozy. I am eager to get underway with art and writing, research. I can see ahead to what my life will be as I return to work after not being able to fully be myself and just focus on me and the promises I made myself after Thomas died. I love to help, and support loved ones however time presses in on you the older you get, and the concerns of what one does with one’s time matters. I have helped others all my life and not paid that kind of attention to myself. It’s time to do so. I will take time for others still; I need family time. And I need to be me. It’s a matter of blending, merging the two things I love most! There is a balance.

To have a space that feels cozy, and fits one’s needs is wonderful! The remaining things I love from my life with Thomas are at last gathered here. Remaining things? When you move you can’t bring it all. And so, you make decisions about things. Time allows you to let go of things as it does. When you’re ready. Only you can decide this. It’s time! LOL! As things find there place here in my new home, I am finding things to let go of. Somehow the books I own_____ from both Thomas and me, his being the larger number of books! I don’t want them all. But do want to find them new homes. Sorting them is a start. Books are heavy, and I am grateful for those who lugged them for me! It would have been a much slower process if I had done it. In this case a son in law, grandson and a friend of my oldest daughter. I am grateful that they took the time to help us move back to Maine. How could I not be grateful?

Life feels good! I am back to my balanced self. 2026 will be a busy time for me! Productive! That’s the plan!

Best wishes! May love and laughter find you! Always! Pejj Nunes
