Self Talk about Settling In


There are an infinite number of ways to arrange furniture in your place, no matter how little stuff you think you have. Such options provide an infinite number of distractions for your mind-- good options, too, for which you can thank God. And you must take yourself by the hand and lead yourself away from going over each and every option perfectly, dragging the decision out.....hoping for the perfect arrangement of your things... You have spent enough time doing that in your life. Put it somewhere and USE it, function, work, eat, sleep, go out, come back in, let the house serve you, not the other way around.

Be ruthless with the paper. Shred it or make a box for a bonfire on your son's deck with his new fire pit.

Good. All good. Good problems to have. A house. Now go paint, Pollock!
