The Jersey Boy and I finally found a place to call our own. Searching for this home was swifter than our first. (I credit necessity coupled with experience as the expediting factors this time a round.) Suffice to say, we are thrilled with our new condo and look forward to settling in toward the end of September.
Subletting has been illuminating, I went from having a cozy 3 bedroom, fully furnished colonial with a basement to a minuscule two bedroom apartment equipped with the barest of necessities; a futon, folding table, two chairs, media related electronics,and my yoga gear. What I discovered is that I miss my CD's, sheet music, bed and little else. Perhaps monks, nuns, and such have the right idea...there is a certain freedom in less is more.
Moving to our new home, I wonder if I will continue this practice of austerity? Keeping only the things I need and give me joy, or will I begin to accumulate belongings because I have the space to put them, hanging on to things that no longer serve me...
As always, I'll keep you posted
