Less Stuff = a Happy Family, Happy Caroline

We are downsizing, dramatically.  This means clearing out furniture, toys, books, knicknacks, clothes…you name it, we probably need less of it.  Downsizing means we need less house.

I am trying my best to maintain a great attitude during this transitional time in our family life.  But quite frankly, it’s frightening.  Right now, we don’t know where we’ll live.  We’ve found homes for a lot of our furniture, but more of it is going to have to go.  I refuse to use a storage unit.  I’m gifting some of my favorite things to some of my favorite people.

So I’m trying to have a zen attitude about all this uncertainty.  Stuff is just stuff.  At the end of the day, my husband, children, and I will all still be together.  I’m finally learning to realize what is important in this life, even if it’s through this hard lesson.

For once in my life, I’m having a little faith that everything will turn out okay.
