Time & Place

It is Sunday afternoon in the pacific coast. I’m sitting out in my backyard/patio in Los Angeles. The sun is kissing my skin and I’m at bliss. I have my dog honey sunbathing right next to me. She always has to know where and what I’m up to. I just love her! I feel most at peace here. The sun, the light breeze, the plants all around me. It makes my heart glow and my face smile. I am home.

It is amazing how much a place can affect your mood. The peace I feel is overwhelming but in a good way. It’s funny because I still have so much to get done in order to be settled in. Long story short - I moved back home over a week ago and well my car and all my belongings were moved by a moving company. My car arrived the day I arrived in LA. However, my belongings are still somewhere in the Midwest (I’m assuming). But hopefully this coming week the movers will arrive with everything and my house will be live able.

That being said, I’ve been living out of my suitcases so my routine hasn’t been the norm. Plus, my job is on eastern time so now I wake up at 5 AM, work at 6 AM, have lunch around 10- 11 AM, get off at 3PM, then continue working on the house until 8-9 PM then REPEAT. When I get exhausted I remind myself that this is all temporary and I need to have patience. Having your own house truly takes time to actually make it your own. It will all get done. All I am most worried about is getting enough rest, good food and getting my vitamins in. The last thing I need is for me to get sick from overworking myself,which I need to stop myself from doing.

Anyways, life hasn’t gone completely as planned, but what’s new! I am adapting and doing my best and I know that is all I can do. Overall, I am truly grateful to be living the life I am living. Everything and anything that comes easy will never feel as good as the things that you worked towards to get. All good things take time.
