Love this..."the space between wanting change and being ready for it...the house knows before we do." Osteoarthritis reshaped my life when it arrived suddenly a year ago. It begins in massive pain and swelling...the 'wanting change' stage. As I finish up physical therapy, hoping to walk like a human again, I realized I will have to do PT on my own forever now. I have made good progress with PT, so I feel 'ready' to accept the change. This is the new shape of my life. That means transforming my bedroom (only used as a dressing room for the past year) into a PT room/dressing room. Today I've been re-organizing, cleaning out, filling a Good Will bag...and it feels good, strangely enough. Like getting the nursery ready for baby.

A great post, with some nice photos
Definitely feeling that summer limbo.
