That is the way we grow. Would love to read about your baby steps into a new down sized life. Are you gonna work from home as your own? Put more time into Etsy , crochet and blogging maybe? I am curious. You really don't need a new blog for this. I am sure all your readers would love to follow this journey right here. Just title it somehow. Maybe Down size size your life or something like that. Financial and practical tips on saving a penny or two is always interesting. Good look with everything!<br />xxx<br />AnnetteAnnette - MyRoseValleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778246579909568662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-24724412918641348972013-11-05T01:56:53.045-07:002013-11-05T01:56:53.045-07:00Tu rivalises avec les plus grands artistes photogr...Tu rivalises avec les plus grands artistes photographiques dans la façon de prendre tes clichés, superbes toutes ces photos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-44316800114309230882013-11-03T19:27:47.320-07:002013-11-03T19:27:47.320-07:00Wow, Astri, congratulations on a big change!

If you write a blog charting your exploration I'd love to read it - thinking of a few mid-life changes myself in the next while. Among them funnily enough, braces too! Never had them as a child and wish I had. Your white rose rug sounds perfect - can't wait to see it finished! Take care of yourself and enjoy all every moment of your new regime. Sending you a hug.
