I'm thinking the blog is my way of getting a handle on new things, and new things are happening. After the TTP ordeal we have had many discussions about life, liberty and the pursuit of the future which have led us to our next adventure.
Our beautiful, much loved, too-big house is under contract to be sold and we are moving into a condo in Portland! It's half the size of this house and we are excited to be simplifying and living closer to everything Portland has to offer. It's in a walking neighborhood, very close to Back Cove (part of Casco Bay) where there is a walking/running trail that is well travelled in all seasons. There is a
known and loved brewpub practically in our back yard. We will have NO SNOW TO SHOVEL!
The divesting of "stuff" is sobering. I've not felt attached to many of the things that are being sold or given away. But they are things that have been a part of our lives almost since our lives have been connected. Some things I have emotional ties with, that won't work in the new space, are difficult to let go. Yeah.
We are looking forward to making the space our own, spending more time exploring the city, exploring Maine and just chilling with friends far and near. I believe there will be more news to come when it all comes together.
Hooray for the back to work milestone... nice to put 2014 away in the book!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new adventure... Horace & I will be on the lookout for you around Back Cove!
