I imagine I was so ready there is no grieving, all my grieving was done in that house. If the walls could release my grief, they'd be crying for months. I lost so many friends and my beloved dog while living there. Now, I feel a rebirth, it's magical.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-8805366945238128022017-11-26T14:08:23.151-03:302017-11-26T14:08:23.151-03:30See new post BB, I am so very done with it.

We moved away, downsized to a personality-void home, and are helping aging parents. Knowing it's the right thing to do doesn't necessarily make our changes or adjustments easy. I truly believe there's a grieving process involved. I've been reading and appreciating your blog for a while now and figured it's time to show myself! I wish you well in your adjustment. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photo.

I think of singing "try to remember, and if your remember...." etc. I think you were in love with that place [who wouldn't be] and it served you well - maybe the time spent there is all fate will give you.

We loved our old house in Michigan with its forty acres of primal forest, but six months of near continuous snow meant constant tractor work to keep the drives and pathways clear, and all summer was spent cutting wood for heat through the long winters. It was a wrench to leave, but the passing of seventy meant it became more difficult to keep up with the work involved and our move to France has meant a much easier lifestyle. We still miss our old house, but sometimes it pays to be realistic and adapt to our drop in energy levels. I do hope you'll be happy in your new home.R J Adamshttps://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-50786197381193244152017-11-21T12:43:42.292-03:302017-11-21T12:43:42.292-03:30See, the move was the right one - getting your toi...See, the move was the right one - getting your toilet plunger was so much easier. And there seem to be other bonuses too, all to make life less challenging than getting in logs and clearing snow. How you did that beats me. We gave up the log fire a few years back....just couldn't haul them in any more, let alone take out the ashes. Good on yer. Much love, hugs and good vibes in your new place xxxxxx<br />LadyLuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425624818859182752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-84381462174588213102017-11-21T10:20:58.225-03:302017-11-21T10:20:58.225-03:30Agree with nick.Agree with nick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-13585394511235515062017-11-21T09:18:19.939-03:302017-11-21T09:18:19.939-03:30I get memory lapses just as peculiar.
