jiggety jig? Well, maybe not so much a jig. More like a scramble. It's always a bit jarring to return home after a long absence, to realize there is MUCH to be done. I opened the front door after debarking from the Florida flight home and it was almost as if one of those Jack-in-the-Boxes sprang open, scattering piles and projects and repairs and chaos just... everywhere. My first impulse was to turn around and head back out.
Being on the road is simple. Oh, I know, there's the whole suitcase thing, and being away from your friends and family and nest. But, for me, that one little carry-on for a month just highlighted how little of what I HAVE I actually NEED. And to only have to keep one little suitcase-full organized was – well, it was easy.
So, this month is about reorganizing, streamlining, assessing, purging, simplifying, and basically figuring out what is truly essential in my home (and life?) and what is just clutter, clouding my view and blocking my path. I have a little bit of free time to work on that now, and I'm hopeful that if I can get the clutter removed and the dust settled, the other side will present a clearer view of where I am and what comes next.
Here's to wonderful, fulfilling jobs away from home, and here's to bringing the wonderful back home too!
