It takes love to hold on when you want to let go.

We are moving.
Packing up this home of ours, downsizing , editing out stuff, distributing, donating, and cherishing.
We are letting go.
In preparation, I’ve read the life-changing books of tidying up and death cleaning. I’m following the rituals laid out therein. And, as much as I want this ( to rid my life of the unnecessary accumulation of material stuff), I’m here to tell you – it’s a gruelling process.
But we are getting there, certainly over half way now. Just a few more weeks before we are outta here, and there’s nothing like a deadline!!
We will be saying good bye to this beloved view, which has gifted us countless beautiful sunrises – each one uniquely breathtaking. There have been many mornings when all four of us have gathered at the window together to witness the start of another day. I bet I’ve taken a thousand photos of this view. Shared a few here, in fact.
But life is all about change.
The time has come for us to free up some time. For a new start. Our “empty-nester” house.
So! (Against my better judgement and) to my husbands absolute delight, we are building a new house. At the moment, it’s just an idea on paper, but once complete the new house will afford us views of sunsets. Here….
It’s going to be good. Trading early morning coffee for cocktails at sunset, perhaps? Sunrises for sunsets.
