So last week has been a huge push to get my condo painted and all the little loose ends tied up so we can list it, which we are going to do this week, probably Friday. For a couple of days I was getting stressed about the details, and of course the suspense of not knowing exactly when it will sell and to whom. So after being woken up with a migraine one morning at 4am I decided to take a step back and see what I was doing, which was getting wrapped up and losing my perspective. Saturday after my weekly Tai Chi class, I went to Crepeville, a handy little restaurant one block from my condo, and treated myself to a nice leisurely breakfast. As I was walking back, it dawned on me that this is my last weekend in Midtown, at least before my condo is staged and on the market. This is the last weekend that I will have walking access to all these restaurants and shops that I have come to love and depend upon in the last eight years. So I slowed down and really looked at everything with new eyes and savored all the sights. When I got back to my condo, I did all the chores and projects with gratitude, as an expression of love for this place that has been such a blessing in my life. What a change! No more headaches. It’s amazing what perspective will do, and how our body is so good at communicating what we need to hear, if only we slow down and listen to it.
