Cultivating a New Life

The beginning


We've been back a few weeks now, looking for work, seeing friends, attempting to get our lives into some sort of order (but not trying too hard, enjoying this time while we have it).  Its been really great so far, its nice to be home.

While we were away we spent lots of time thinking and talking about what we wanted our lives to look like when we got back.  We wanted to garden, practice yoga, have time to be creative and have time to spend with one another.  Seattle seems like a great place to do that and that is one of the big reasons we decided to move back.

Our garden has been planted and now we check it every day, seeing if anything has sprouted, checking for things that don't need to be there (ie slugs, found 2 yesterday) and sending happy thoughts to the little seedlings to help them on their journey.  In many ways it is a microcosm for how we are living our lives, day to day, trying to cultivate just what we need and keep out all the extras that seem to make life so very confusing.  It feels good to start over and I am very hopeful that as things fall into place here Seattle will be the perfect city for us to live the life we want to live.
