1.  Resilience has been something I have always wanted to attain.

2.  When times are challenging, I do my very best to bring out all my resilient energies.

3.  Last weekend, we took out every book, art supply, desk, Zentangle artwork, and piece of furniture from my beloved art studio and office apartment.

4.  With the loving help of friends and family, this amazing move was accomplished.

5.  Utmost gratitude to Rose, Dyan, Kevin, Barry, Tom, Maribeth, Mary Ellen, and all the others who helped with this transition.

6.  My dear friend Holly, who is an Interfaith Minister, helped me clean the apartment and scatter blessings throughout it for the next tenant so they can have fun and happiness in that wonderful spot.

7.  I have a million boxes to unpack, and I am pretending they are presents!  I am still sorting for donations — yesterday afternoon, I unpacked 6 boxes and am donating 1 out of those.

8.  It feels good to divest myself of things that others can use better than I can.

9.  This transition feels like an integration, and it feels good, right, and smart.

10.  And guess what?  I am a resilient person!  That is not a characteristic I have to long for any more — hooray!  yahoo!  yippee!
