This blog is mainly to chronicle our efforts to clear out and downsize before retirement so we can follow our dream to move to our beautiful views in the valley. The land is there just waiting for us to get off our duffs, pack the few treasures we plan to keep and dispose of the rest. Waiting for us to finish up renovations, paint, clean (after the reno there will be LOTS of cleaning!), pack the treasures in a trailer, SELL the house, load the motorhome and wave goodbye to our old life. See why we need to get off our duffs? Just making lists of what needs to be done is exhausting so the doing of it is making us procrastinate just a bit.
We hope that having this journal will keep us motivated to just keep going until our "Valley Dreams" become a reality. The carrot at the end of the stick is a brand new home with gorgeous views, wouldn't you think that would get us moving a bit faster? I think we need to tackle this as we would eat an elephant, one bite at a time.
So although I won't post often I hope to be able to report progress as it happens.
