I am downsizing more than just my body! We are making arrangements to empty our family home after all these years. My o/h and I are starting to make the mental break from this as home and look forward to becoming footloose and fancy free.
I won't say it is easy, because it isn't. I look forward to coming home when working away all week, but I spend so little time here anymore and it is a financial cost that I could divert to other things in my life - like travelling.
We were planning on what we would take with us to France, what we would give to the girls, and what we would skip/give to charity/car boot or leave in the loft when the house is let out. Letting go is so hard! I owned up to my o/h how sad I felt and he admitted to feeling the same, but said that when we were together anything seemed managable and he felt more right about our decision than anything.
Well, we have started on the loft today - emptying out nealy 30 years of possessions ready to put in other things we may really want to keep!!
