Our Sanctuary

Oh my god March is ending!

This whole month has been so busy that the days just flew by. It has been a roller coaster ride with all the loops, steepness and sudden turns.

We have moved to a new place and it has been both exhausting and exciting. I really enjoyed the part wherein we were choosing what furniture to get and what color, shade and fabric to use as we mentally picture the interior of our new apartment. It feels so good to come home to a place and see everything around you is something you worked hard for. On the other hand, packing all our things, lifting boxes and shifting heaps of boxes to the new place was very, very draining. Nonetheless, arranging and re-arranging things in our new place made every single thing worthwhile.

I will post photos soon. :)

I can't wait to go home everyday.

5 years back when I was going through a rough time in my life, I had a journal that I decided to compile, edit and lay-out (and print) for the sake of memories. So I did everything I mentioned except for the one in the bracket. I spent crazy hours editing, proofreading and editing again only to find out I lost it when my computer broke down. It was terrible! I felt devastated.

Today while I was going through my old emails, I found attachments, bits and pieces of my old journal slash book-to-be and I am soooooo thrilled! I saved a copy on my computer and will go through it later. :)

Here is one random article I found:

What i know about pain
- lucy torres-gomez

i know it has to be treated with respect. Feel it and get to know it,
because only then will you be able to let it go. Know you are entiled to
your one last cry and make sure that happens on your own terms; let no one
tell you, you are grieving too much or too little. Be true to yourself and
while you feel but while at it, wait expectantly for healing to come
because, trust me, it will come.
