in this case i'm referring to having just enough space. it impels you to dispose of clutter, get organized, and only hold on to the things you truly treasure. goodbye junk. goodbye clothes i haven't worn in more than two years. goodbye books from college that have been held on to 'just in case'. it's hard enough with a one-year-old to feel uncluttered without clutter from the past hanging around.
one of things i now truly treasure is the freedom from working a job that was making me miserable. yes, we've given up apartment managing. thank goodness! which also means we've moved out of the old and into a new apartment. it's a great little space, but is a little less space than we had. but i don't notice it (well, maybe i notice it a little in the kitchen). it fits us perfectly.
i'm also starting to treasure my 'me' time for the first time in a long time! (that sounds like a lot of time.) now that the move is complete and the holidays are over, i'm finding that i'm actually able to do things like, for instance, blog. and work on the quilt i started 3 years ago. and prepare lasagna in the middle of the day so that when dinner time rolls around it's ready to go! it feels so good to have time. not too much, so that i'm sitting around wondering what to do next. just enough.
