In preparation for my move out of my parents' house, I have spent all weekend rummaging and couponing to find good deals for the house and to complete my pantry stockpile. As of Thursday, I had couscous packed. At least I wouldn't be hungry for about 20 minutes. Now, I have my stockpile almost complete and several household items, including a washer and dryer for $30. I am realizing very quickly the expense of moving out is adding up and that this has become a good transition to move into this house with a roommate. I am not attempting to, but it seems as if I am being catapulted into the adult world, just a little at a time. God must have known what He was doing to not thrust me into this.
I also have been packing my belongings and have realized how much journaling has carried me through many years of my life. I complied probably 20% of my bookshelf the other day and realized that they were spiral bound notebooks filled with the ups and downs of my life. I think that the only regret I have is that I have spent too much time complaining about my life and striving to make my life better when it was already really good. I ruined too many good times because of this and am striving to make the most of every day I have now. It really is an amazing feeling to be ok with where you are right now, right here.
