It has been over 7 years since we moved here. Those of you who know me well realize this is a personal record in giving up my nomadic lifestyle. We are planning to put our house on the market and eventually move. Last night I was looking around the house seeing what we can pack up to "stage" the house and was in awe of how much stuff we have... I like the thought of a new house, but it will be a lot of work. I'm hopeful that the end result of a little more space and a better layout will benefit us all in the end.
Samantha has reacted to the preparations with excitement, sadness and fear, all of which I am feeling too. I tried to explain about change and how it's hard to deal with sometimes. I asked her if she remembered what it was like before Sofie was born and she does. I then asked if she likes our life better now with Sofie than without. Sam said she likes it more now. We agreed that life is different and it's turning out to be pretty fun. I told her that our life was good before too, but it's different with Sofie. Not necessarily better, certainly not worse, it's just different and that is okay.
Attitude or perspective really is everything and we prefer to have positive (and adventurous) outlooks versus living in a fearful and angry place!
