I like stumbling upon things I've written long ago. Saying that it is sometimes embarrasing too. It's been a year since we moved into our lovely home and I found some preparation notes from that time. I really like this list because after reading it I realised that it relates to today, my everyday. This is what I want each day to look and feel like - ideally that is, it's what I aim for at least, sometimes I fall rather short, sometimes it all balances. Here it is;
Ideas on the new house -
Relax, it will all fall into place. Give yourself time to settle. Things, objects, concepts and ideas take time to find a place.
Prioritize the children's feelings, they will need extra love, patience, sleep, food, vitamins etc
Focus on Dazla feeling particularly supported.
Be kind and gentle on yourself.
Allow more time in the morning for getting to school. Organisation and time on your side equals spontaneity.
Make lots of food. Accept offers of food. Have plenty of snacks, meals, pastizzi's, case of wine, fruit etc for the helpers.
