Double Dutch Psychology: Day 4 of 40 Love can move Mountains

Tons and tons of small pebbles (I called that gravel yesterday) and tons of bricks, the garden table, two deckchairs, 5 garden chairs, two potted Hydrangeas, one potted Fall Aster, the cover and elastic band from the trampoline, that’s what we moved today. Me and two of my wonderful kids. My son as he had promised, despite having a very short night, and my youngest daughter before she had to go to work. In the new house was one of my middle daughters stripping almost all the wallpaper with her friend plus they helped to unload the trailer full of bricks. Mind you, it was extremely hot for a September day, we were soaked and covered with dirt but the spirit was good and I had a great day.

The kid next door in the new house welcomed us by giving a hand to unload the trailer. A good friend who lives in my new neighborhood came to see the house. My neighbor here in the old house will help tomorrow to fill the crater which emerged from under the trampoline. Another neighbor will teach me how to plaster the walls in the new house. My mom promised to repair the glass bead strings from the curtain for the backdoor. And my eldest middle daughter is coming over Monday again to help with whatever I’ll ask her. My brother will help out with connecting the washing machine and dishwasher and probably much more. My ex husband is pulling some strings when I want to borrow trailers, vans, wheelbarrows and more. And helps me in a lot of other ways, like the good friend he is. So many wonderful people and the best of all are my offspring. Today I really feel blessed. I also feel that I will enjoy a long shower. The rest, like a lovely massage for my overstrained muscles, and a manicure for all my broken nails, well, I will make that up for now, probably while I am sound asleep.
