When the page turns

I sat down and took a break from all the boxes and tape. 

I've spent weeks dreading packing. Feel so low into the ground that I could barely get off the couch. Trying to convince myself that I'm strong enough to do this. Begging and pleading. 

When I looked around. I felt the lump in my throat. I'm not going to do it. Don't do it. 

Something clicked and all of a sudden felt right. The lump faded and I took a deep breath. With every piece of material "stuff" I place in a box I'm closing a chapter. Saying goodbye to the past. 

Certain things make it into a box and certain things make their way to the trash. I don't need reminders. I have my memory for that. 

I can't help but smile tonight. It's so exciting to be starting a whole new life. Wondering what lyes around the corner. The daydreams of the future. 

Here's to healing. Here's to growing. Here's to being a better me than I was yesterday. Here's to new beginnings. 

I'm ready for whatever you have in store for me life. <3
