When everything is new, nothing is old. Nothing is comfortable. Nothing is familiar.
When everything is new, you need to be careful. Don't break that! Don't scratch that!
When everything is new, you should read all the directions. Except you can't. There's too much.
When everything is new, you hate to complain. After all, everyone likes, new things, right?
When everything is new, you need to put it all away. But where does it belong?
When everything is new, it needs to be taken care of properly.
When everything is new, what will be the first to wear out, break, need replacing?
When everything is new, nothing is old. Nothing is comfortable. Nothing is familiar.
It takes time.
Time to break things in.
Time to drop a wall hanging, and scuff the baseboard, making it feel more like HOME, like the wall hanging proclaims.
Time to use things and figure out the quirks.
Time to read directions.
Time to learn which button DOES add soap automatically to the washer.
Time to settle in.
Time figure out where to store the sheets, so you can find them when you have company.
It takes time.
