Today is the day! It has been almost three years since we bought a block of land in Upper Kedron, Brisbane. The build was completed and handed over to us yesterday, and today we are moving in. To be honest, I have a range of mixed emotions - ecstatic that the day is finally here but also dreading the process of relocating. There are new challenges to overcome and existing ones to close out, but that's part of the journey, and all journeys have ups and downs.

It is a wonderful feeling to see such a long-term goal finally come to fruition, especially one that involved so much planning, hurdles, and various challenges that were thrown our way. But we made it and I am over the moon about it.

It's interesting how the universe works sometimes and leads you to believe in coincidences. And it's true. We have had several challenges over the last few months, some ongoing. However, in the last month, a few of them have come together and almost lined up perfectly. One such alignment, which may seem trivial, is kerbside collection. In Australia, the government has a scheduled collection of large household goods that are too large to dispose of or even donate within most households' standard sizes. Everyone simply places them on the side of the road and a council crew collects form scheduled suburbs all over the country.

Our handover date for the house was booked for the 1st of December, our kerbside collection was scheduled for the 4th, and our current lease is due to expire on the 12th. The combination of all these events has created a pure feeling of forward momentum for me. It almost feels like I am moving up a level within my own mind. Everyone has their own benchmarks for success, improvement, status, and growth, and today I welcomed a new one for myself. We have cleaned house, from physically, mentally, and spiritually, and with that have grown and traversed onto a new pathway.

I’m still soaking everything in, and today is just a day of over welcoming happiness. Sometimes days just are.

Thanks,

Dean
