Dear PSluke, I am new here and after reading your situation wanted to send my wishes for a good party. You talk about how difficult it is to work on you, well you have a clean slate with your new place to surround yourself with all kinds of inspiration. Favorite artwork, cozy blankets, special books. Make your new home ALL about you and where you want to be inside. With the holidays coming don't worry too much about your decorations in the attic. I know you'll want them back because they have a lot of meaning, but even when you get them, maybe this year try something totally different. Pick a theme for your new place and go to town. If you like blue and silver go for it, red and gold a great choice too. Good luck with the boxes, only pull out what you need and things that make you feel good. Don't forget to buy some fresh cut flowers for yourself and the party. truly, Jennifer
