The Size of a Life

Is your space too large for the life you are living?

When we had visitors and adult children that were needing space in our house, we needed a house that was large enough for them. During the years we lived in Florida, we had friends and family staying with us more often than not. At one point we were a 6 person household with a three car garage and four bedrooms. I had three sets of dishes and stacks of sheets and towels. We used the space. Now the kids have houses of their own. Our life still includes them, but we don’t need to include space for them in our house.

In many different ways, we can downsize and simplify. A nest doesn’t have to be empty, it can be a new and smaller nest.
