Maybe? Or possibly I finally found it.
Today, I decided to sell my house. I've lived in the same beautiful, affluent, gated community for 29 years. My first husband and I closed on this house on the due date for my first child's birth, and moved during the next week after, and then one week after closing, I gave birth to our son. I brought home all 3 of our children to this house, raised them all to adulthood in this house. I've been through three husbands in this house. I've worked 2 jobs and struggled to keep this house. I filed bankruptcy to keep this house so that my kids never had to be moved out of the only home they had known.
And now, the kids are all grown and in their own places, and the last husband is gone. It's just me, the 2 dogs and the 6 cats. I don't need a 4 bedroom home in a neighborhood that I don't enjoy any more. It's too expensive to keep.
I found a cute little cabin style home not toooo far away that has 10 acres and is beautiful. That is where I want to be. In the woods, with my animals, with no neighbors 20 feet away to wave at when I get my mail or try to avoid when I have to mow the grass. I'll be able to see the stars, enjoy the quiet of nature, and be free of a mortgage.
I contacted a realty agent about selling my home and contacted the agent for the other home with 10 acres to set up an appointment for a viewing for this weekend.
Yeah. I think it's time to move on and have that fresh start somewhere new. I am ready.
