Every big change in life invariably involves trading away good and bad things to be replaced with some other set of good and bad things. For us, making the change we are making, the list is long. While we would not be doing this if the balance were not positive, the goods and the bads don’t happen evenly.
We’re going through the process of ridding ourselves of our home and it’s contents. We’re gradually saying goodbye to the “bringing up a family” era of our lives. The latter was always an inevitability but it’s all tied into the emotion of the now. We’re so busy getting through transition it’s hard to focus on the end state.
So the mental challenge is keeping focussed on the end state and not letting the “sacrifices” of the now feel overwhelming. July just needs to be survived, August will get better.
