Last week the site of my eventual home was cleared. There used to be a house there and now it's gone. Construction has started and now this new house which I've been thinking about and imagining for a while has taken a step that makes the whole thing real for me in a way it wasn't before.
First, Taher you can't think or say Alhamdolillah enough for being able to do this.
I read Zahra's thoughts about this and I feel very much the same. It got me thinking about all the house stuff I've focused on recently.
Zahra and I have spent alot of time and energy over the last several years talking about and thinking about this home. It was an idea and all of a sudden it became real for me. I was aware, on some level, throughout, of thinking about this home and the future. I would pause and remind myself that I didn't want to focus too much on the future, on the "finish", for fear of not really being present. I'm happy to realize I wasn't actually focusing on the "finish".
Now that this house is more real I should be more excited. Just for the record I'm mega excited. But I've realized now I will miss my time with Zahra thinking about this part of the future. I will miss making these tiny decisions about small details in the house. I will miss doing this project with Zahra.
I don't know that I've written down effectively what I want to be reminding myself. I guess it's simple.
Taher: It's not about the finished product, enjoy the project.
I plan to enjoy the rest of this project. And then, Zahra, I promise to think of another one:P
