When Things Don’t Fit in Your Life
I’m spending the night with my couch… not on my couch. 
We have a lot of history together.
I was so proud when I bought it to furnish my Airbnb apartment in 2016. That whole Airbnb part of my life was a testimony to the fact that I could do things that really scared me and I could do them alone if needed and succeed!
When I gave up the airbnb, moving the couch to my house with friends was an adventure in trying to fit a too big couch through a tiny doorway. Pivoting was the least of our problems. It was more like pushing and shoving and sweating, but we made it happen. And it’s been a blessing of a couch since all I had in my living room thus far was a small ugly brown love seat I bought from a pet-friendly home. At 5 foot 3 inches, I couldn’t even lie down on the couch comfortably.
It’s been my constant companion through 2020 and came in handy when my mom or kids needed a place to sleep. But it’s time to say goodbye to it (like so many other things in my life during this season.) It literally doesn’t fit in my house, so I have to believe it figuratively doesn’t fit in my life any more.
So I’m saying goodbye. It’s served me well, but it’s time to move on for both of us. Bitter sweet just like everything else about this move and time in my life!
What things don’t fit in your life anymore? What habits don’t serve your future self? If you don’t get rid of the physical, emotional, and mental stuff in your life causing you chaos and to be stuck, you’ll never create space for new and beautiful things to com!
