We made the decision to downsize
last year. Well, my husband wanted to do this more than I did, but after
dragging my feet, I decided it was the right thing to do. That didn’t make it
any easier for me. We went from a 3-bedroom house to a 2-bedroom duplex. Even
after having four garage sales, we still had too much stuff. Physically, this
was the hardest move for both of us. That might be because we are a lot older
now, but it’s not easy trying to fit everything into a smaller place. Whenever we
moved in the past, it was always to a larger home. I think the hardest part was
spending a year sorting and cleaning out all my stuff. The process was so time-consuming
and stressful. It’s difficult deciding what to get rid of and what to keep.
However… I’m discovering that I
didn’t really need all of those things I had and there are many creative ways
to organize a smaller home. Pinterest has been a great help with people sharing
so many great ideas. We are quickly adapting to our new place. After a year of
cleaning out stuff, hosting garage sales (when you start recognizing the people
shopping in your garage, you’ve had too many), and finally moving, I’m looking
forward to new beginnings and moving on with my life.
