Ok, so I wanted to blog a bit about fires, and how amazing they can be. Yesterday I was able to get rid of some old large goofy furniture in a matter of a few hours. Not only are these items gone for good, but now they are just a pile of ash, and that feels amazing. I feel like some of these heavy items that have been in this house for years have acted as boat anchors, and they are now going away! A few weeks back I had a fire for many days in a row thanks to some rather large pieces of tree that have been laying out in the yard for years. The more I burn, the better I feel, and the less I am going to have to deal with before I move from this house.
I'd also like to talk about how mezmerising fires can be to watch. I feel like it's almost like the sea where you can just stare into them for hours, and get lost in the flickering flames. Perhaps it's like the ocean too where they are powerful and also dangerous. It's hard to take your eyes off of them. It's fun to tell stories around them or make jokes about hot dogs. I love feeling the heat & think it's a trip how if you get too close your skin feels almost sunburned afterwards. I can only feel thankful to fire these days. Without it, I'd still have WAY too much stuff to deal with, and would feel totally under even more pressure.
This journey is a challenge, and I'm glad that fire is on my side. That & the garbage man. I won't lie how amazing it felt to pull the bins back down the driveway today and feel how light they were now. Not only am I losing weight, but so is this house, and it's awesome. It's funny how some people will tell you to sell things, or hold on to them, but sometimes burning them can be the much better option. Thank you again fire for helping me to feel even lighter with each passing day!
