Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from May 14th
I’ve finally settled into my forever home, or at least I hope it’s forever. It’s incredibly peaceful here, surrounded by trees and the sweet symphony of birdsong. Owls chime in at night, adding to the tranquility. Despite the serene setting, the move itself was quite the ordeal, especially with my fibro and arthritis acting up like an unwelcome duo.
Moving from Victoria to Nanaimo on the Island was a challenge, but thankfully, I had the assistance of two remarkable young men from a company called Junk in your Trunk. These guys were a godsend—kind, helpful, and considerate beyond measure. They went above and beyond what I expected from a moving company, and their rates were the best I found. Their help made the transition smoother and eased a lot of my stress.
The next leg of the journey involved retrieving all my belongings from storage in Vancouver, just a ferry ride away. I’m immensely grateful to my son Tyler and his fiancée Jess for not only gifting me a couch but also for lending their strength in loading everything onto the truck and then into my new home. Their support made the process much smoother. And I can’t forget to thank my oldest daughter Tabytha for her invaluable help in emptying out the storage unit and keeping me grounded throughout the whole ordeal. Having family by my side made all the difference.
In my new home now, the task of finding places for all my belongings is both exciting and daunting. I know I’ll have to bid farewell to some of it, but as things start to come together, there’s a sense of accomplishment. My son-in-law and daughter, who generously bought me this home, have been absolute heroes. They’ve been unpacking, hanging pictures, and even replacing appliances (the old stove had a penchant for fiery antics). Their support has been a blessing beyond words.
My grandson RoRo is absolutely thrilled to be at Grandma’s, and I cherish every moment with him. And my little one is as content as can be, always adaptable. Amidst the ongoing unpacking and organizing, I’m learning to listen to my body’s signals—it’s telling me to slow down and take breaks, I have to as I seize right up painfully. We’re negotiating, my body and I, with a bit of humor thrown in. HAHA.
There’s still plenty to do, but I remind myself that I have time. I’ll tackle each task gradually, one box, one plate at a time. Patience is key, and I’m not going anywhere. This home is where I’ll settle in, make memories, and create my sanctuary.
Thank you for my home Shearers, it is so lovely living on my own and I am in such a peaceful place.
