Preparing for Change

This painting is from 20 years ago, yet I can still feel its relevance in my life.  I'm preparing for a trip and want to wash everything, including my sneakers, and pack, yet I won't need everything, and I need clothes to wear before I go away.  I can wear things now that I won't take on the trip.  So timing is a challenge.  When do I wash stuff and pack.  And how important are what to bring and not bring? Will a shirt get too wrinkled? Is something too warm or cool? Does it look good on me? Do I have enough underwear? Socks?  I have piles laid out on the spare bed as I sort through my thoughts as well as my clothing.  I am overwhelmed and excited to be going away.  It is also a comfort to know I will be back home again and do laundry.
