PIVOT!!!

Stress test for couples: moving a heavy dresser down a narrow staircase. If you can keep a positive attitude through that, you can overcome a lot.

In the micro-transactions of selling our furniture on fb marketplace, I’ve encountered people in many walks of life. 

The couple just arriving from Minnesota to start their socal adventure. The single mom with growing pains. the cross-border neighbor furnishing a room for his family.

All of our stuff holds memories, and it feels good to hand it off to someone else in a transitional period.

Borrowed wisdom from my Aunt T, who quotes my late Aunt Rosie comparing this process to a flowing river. New things you need will flow to you, and things you no longer need, you place back in the river and let them flow to someone else. Flow baby flow!
