Catching My Breath

I can't believe how exhausted I feel...

Sitting here with the leaves rustling after another long day's work, I can just relax into the moment. I'm so glad I didn't "camp local" in Prescott...this is so much better for my spirit...to be in a place where I feel safe and suppprted for however long this final preparation takes me.

I have nothing to push me up against arbitrary deadlines, and it feels wonderful. Yes, I still have to empty out the storage unit, but it's all in motion, and will easily get done. The trailer's already here with me, and I am sorting and paring as quickly as I reasonably can.

I knew I've been overstressed, but I had no idea just how stressed I was, until I let go of the burdensome pieces of my life. I literally feel like I can breathe again (for the first time in a very long time)...and I'm finally "allowed" to feel just how exhausted I truly am.

My life is here...my life is now...and I'm quite busy enough just catchimg my breath...
