It's quiet here today, at the end of our first full week in the new house. I'm pretty amazed by how settled we are. Oh, there are things to be done of course. There is nothing on the walls yet, and a few boxes are still to be dealt with. But it's not the important stuff. That has all been pretty much unpacked and put away for most of the week. There really is something to be said for a slow steady move over several weeks. It gave us time to bring things in and put them away, so that the last day really was just the remaining essentials (and the things we needed the strong young relatives' help with the heavy lifting).
I have been off to clergy conference and back. It seems that our CC tends to fall around big events in my life, moving, weddings, things like that. I am happy to say that even with the going and coming I have sustained my morning yoga practice for six days now! I am giving myself "permission" to take Sundays off. If I get there it's a bonus, but we tend to spend the morning together having a nice breakfast, getting ready for church, and I think that too, is an important part of this "life I love" rebuild.
Our original plan for today was to take in some of the Cinco de Mayo festivities in the Big City upriver. But the combination of less than ideal weather and R being down with a nasty Spring cold has derailed that. Right now I am listening to the comforting sounds of both my husband and dog napping peacefully. The revised plan includes a little errand running and our own Mexican dinner right here at home. I have no church responsibilities on my calendar for a good long while now. There is some pulpit supply off in the future, and plans are in the making for more involvement at my church here, though the when and how are still to be determined. I need to be in wait and trust mode. Not my best thing...but it too is part of the practice I guess.
So being slow today, taking it easy, no expectations....gee, that sounds like a weekend!
