Farewell sweet cabin



My "goodbye" visit to the cabin was wonderful. Of course there was some sadness too but I was really able to enjoy the time spent there. I spent a lot of my time just being quiet...listening to the wind in the trees and enjoying the beauty I was surrounded by and being mindful of my 2 years connected to this place. I will miss it very much. I cried a little, but not as much as I anticipated. I went on a lot of walks with the dogs, read and journaled a ton, inspected every corner of the property trying to remember each tree and rock and slope of the landscape. This place was magical for me. I loved having a little cabin in the woods to escape to, But I love more the vision of being debt free. It is all part of my plan towards simplicity and I am getting there.




With each passing day I am getting closer and it feels really great. Although I loved my little cabin, letting it go was a big step for me. it was accepting the fact that it did not "fit" in my life. I don't have any regrets about buying it. I know that everything happens for a reason. A big part of accepting and realizing how I want to live my life came to me during my quiet time on that front porch. It is really amazing how down time, quiet time will allow us to be more in touch with who we really are. I feel so much peace about where I am right now, and it feels great!
