I loathe the neighborhood in which we live right now with the fiery hot passion of a thousand burning suns, and would love nothing more than to get OUT and downsize to a smaller house in the process - one in which we'd save money on everything from mortgage to heating and cooling. At the same time, though, this is the house we've lived in since we got married. It's the only home my daughter has ever known. And despite feeling trapped in it at the moment, it's a good house. So, I know I'll feel sad when and if (Please God, let it be 'when') the time comes to move. <br /><br />Good luck to you as you move on to your next home!Kristin @ What She Saidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059205340350718840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809709352834557002.post-89748089144720133742012-05-24T11:34:25.112-05:002012-05-24T11:34:25.112-05:00Awesome--not that you are grieving (I hate that fo...Awesome--not that you are grieving (I hate that for you), but that you are expressing your grief. It won't get bottled up and be as significant to your new memories, in your new home. Once the grief has diminished, you will be free to allow new memories to shape. Keep in mind, moving through grief doesn't make you lose the good memories you have there. It just gives space for them shine beautifully.
