Today

I have a two year lease on my apartment, which means there is one more year to go here. It also means I have a rock bottom rent payment for what I want: washer/dryer, dishwasher, good plumbing and storage. Location, style, cost, this apartment has almost everything.

And still I am looking around. For next year, or the year after that, or sometime.

Maybe never, but that is unlikely. I am a nomad. I like moving. I almost need to move and yet it is expensive.

In an attempt to keep me here I asked myself what I like about moving.

1. New views outside my windows.
2. Purging, getting rid of everything I can before the move.
3. New possibilities for arranging the interior.
4. New beginnings.

Some of those can be done without moving! I have disposed of an entire backseat of clothes in my car. Some I gave to people I know, the rest went to Goodwill.

I made room in closets to store furniture I want to put away, but not get rid of in ways that increase my storage, as well as my outer space!

Today I have fun looking. Tomorrow I have fun getting ready. Who knows what comes next.
