[...] The change I do have control over shakes me up like nothing else. I was a part of the decision to move away from our house in the country to our house in the city, but two weeks into it I still feel lost and exhausted when I wake up in the morning. I am still grieving my losses and fighting the changes, no matter how much work I have put into expanding my horizons and feeling at peace. [...]

I know this move is hard for you. But I also believe that there will be many great things about your new home. I hope that you find them, soon, and that they bring you peace and joy. .-= Amber´s last blog ..Routine Chaos =-.

And you’ll get to enjoy being surrounded by city, which I think is awesome and possibly will be a more sustainable lifestyle for you. No more trips back and forth into the city! There will still be life all around you, just in a different form.

What a wonderful idea. I hadn't really thought of that but I will have them take something from our yard to remember it by. And if they don't do that then I will! .-= Melodie´s last blog ..Why I Love The Real Food Community =-.

Thank you L.J. I keep telling myself everything will be great in the city. We have some wonderful new opportunities headed our way, we plan to homeschool this coming year and sign the kids up for yoga – something we couldn’t do in our smaller town because it wasn’t available. So it truly will be a fresh start. It’s good to hear other people’s experiences with emotional moves though, so thank you for sharing that. ;)

I wanted to add that my last move was bittersweet as well. I was eager and happy to move forward into a brand new house, a new community and new experience, but I was sad to leave the home where I gave birth to my boys. I had my moment of tears, said my goodbyes and have never looked back. We embraced a new sense of community, new treasures and new experiences that have thrilled and delighted us for many years now. .-= L.J.´s last blog ..Growing Together =-.

I really loved reading your experience. It's wonderful that you have realized that nature is part of you and you can seek new places and new ways to experience it. I wish you a joyful move! .-= L.J.´s last blog ..Growing Together =-.

Your yard/forest and hike both sound amazing! I'm sure you'll find great new places to explore too. I wonder if the girls would like each picking a special rock or shell or something to remind them of the fun they had there? I still have a rock from a beach I loved when I was 7!! .-= Maman A Droit´s last blog ..They Dont Stay Little Long =-.
