I thought my Transition from where I lived after my TBI to my new Forever Home would be too hard, and my panic attacks would flare big time. They had always done so before. Time schedules, things to do, strangers inside my sanctuary had sent me into Anxiety Attacks for way too many years. I cant count the times I completely shutdown, and stopped. I think this survivor, like a newborn butterfly, has finally spread her wings, they dried in the sun, and this butterfly was prepared to fly. Took years to get to this point, better late than never! The start of organizing like-things with like-things, lists out the wazoo, organizing rooms, then packing & labeling each box (yall understand, out of sight is out of mind), that was hard to begin at first. What began as a chore, during that 10 days had fully turned into my TBI new life excitement. I was ready to venture out and take a leap of faith & just fly. Then the movers came, and I was totally prepared already. I had lists of what/where for each room, and walked them through everything, no panic at all, even with strangers. The excitement bug had already bitten. They moved as I instructed (I had “cheat-sheet” list ready) completely. Then, the unpacking & putting away, designing began, and the excitement bug bite got bigger, lol. Took 10 days to pack-up but only 6 days to unpack, put away & design Every area! Cleaned, things hung on walls, on display, put away, outside designed, all trash out, etc. Exhausted, but invigorated! I love it, and I feel so calm & at peace, at home, so “Me”. ~ Jeni
