For the days when everything feels too much

  Some days feel like a nightmare — full of pressure and rush. On those days I feel tired, overwhelmed, chased by tasks. It feels like my head is going to explode. Everything slips through my fingers and I lose control, unable to do anything and forced to do everything at the same time. The pressure squeezes me in a deadly hug, trying to drain all my energy and leave me barely breathing on the floor. It feels like there is a fog around me and my mind tries to see through it. Everything becomes too loud, too fast, or sometimes painfully slow. Anxiety fills my body like poison. When I feel that I’m losing the present from my sight, I try to stop and breathe. I take a small moment for myself — closing my eyes, trying to find the safe space in my soul, the refuge inside my body — and I tell myself: Everything will be fine. This will pass. You are strong enough. I try to return to the present by focusing on one task, just one thing I can do right now. Finishing that one small thi...

Cleaning our new house

I find it amazing how much stuff we leave behind when we die. It is quite obvious that most of the things we keep through the years are junk that we do not use for anything, but have just in case.

As I wrote in a previous post, the owners of the first floor wanted to clean most of the furniture, and they did it; however, there was more, so we had to deal with it by ourselves. People often offer us to hire some gypsies to do the work, but Veni and I do not want to let random people inside our house. Yes, I know it does not have anything valuable yet, but it is our place, and I do not feel comfortable with strangers going inside! Of course, for the renovation, we will call experts, and they will enter our home, but if it is not absolutely necessary, I prefer foreign eyes and energy to stay outside our future home. Furthermore, while cleaning in the house, going from room to room, you feel the place better and start to visualize the space, the furniture, and the memories you want to create and live.

I do not mind the junk that much, but everything is covered in so much dust and spider webs! Thank God I am not frightened of spiders; otherwise, I do not see myself helping anyhow! The photos are after the cleaning from the previous owners. It was so much more—when we went for the first time, we had to jump over stuff so we could move around the house. Even then, I could see the romance and magic the house possesses. With every little step towards a cleaner room, I could see how much more it is than I imagined. My boy loves running around, he has his own gloves for working, and at almost 3 years old, he has done more work than other people have. I feel blessed with this child!

After the first day of the first weekend that we started cleaning, I took a break and sat down on the dusty floor to enjoy the high ceiling. I felt like Alice in Wonderland—so small, so tiny in this huge room, full of space and opportunities for a family home.

I cannot wait to do more and more, and to go and live there with my family!
