We’re gray after dramatic skies and rain yesterday, and I’m not sure we aren’t in store for more rain today. It looks possible.
I guess we’ll see.
Thank you, Gail, for the coffee-cheers on letting go. It’s a tough, complicated road, but it doesn’t allow for U-turns, and I appreciate your very, very kind encouragement. And, of course, the caffeine because I am tired.
But.
The new sofa arrived today and she is a BEAUTY. The guys who delivered her had some trouble getting it into the room, they had to move the shoe cabinet I have in the entranceway, and the fit was pretty exact.
As the guy said, an extra inch either way, and it wouldn’t make it. And I said yes, I measured very, very carefully.
It’s a textured blue-green color, with a bit of a beige base which goes with the carpet. The throw cushions I’d gotten to spruce up the recliner and love seat it replaced look like they were chosen for it.
So today it’s the other side of letting go, the benefit of the making room. Because I couldn’t be happier with our Room & Board sofa, which is very much not a Wayfair sofa, after that whole “free white glove delivery” but for $99.
And it was comfortable from the first sitting.
I genuinely can’t stop going past the room to look.
Maybe I’ve spent too long on the other side of resisting change, too long trying to make things stay the same long after the threads have started to come apart in my hands.
All change isn’t bad. The same isn’t always good and it’s not always good for us. In fact change can be what brings life back into life.
Sometimes all we need is to take a big breath, square our shoulders, and get to it.
Have a great Tuesday.
