The perfect place for one phase of life could be a burden in another. You do what you feels right, but feelings are not so easily convinced.

We built it and treasured

Its essence, warm and kind

 

Our bodies put down roots

But it’s time said the mind

 

It’s only a structure of

Wood stone and steel

 

Were our hearts built as strong

We could change how we feel

Many memories caught up in a place like this. There's a certain reluctance to leave. Some never do. But it probably will free you up for more if you don't have to take care of such a large place and downsize.

to build a house and sell it is a sort of investment; to build a home and then sell it out is a kind of perfidy. . . a generalized abstraction. Cheers, alex

Leaving the home that has kept you safe and warm is a heart wrenching experience. Be strong and walk through that storm. Clear skies wait ahead.

Love ya!

Yes, we can change ourselves, being positive helps, but sometimes it's so hard to get through those days and nites.
