7. I hear ya! When my husband became disabled we downsized into an accessible 2BR 2BA

apartment with indoor parking and wide doorways for a wheelchair. It was so hard going from a large home to an apartment. I was so depressed leaving my gardens and flowers behind. I had to organize to survive and get rid of all the stuff we no longer needed. I would go through just one box a week to start. Bought those stacking Rubbermaid tubs and labeled what's inside. At least having the tubs stacked up and organized was easier to live with until we permanently downsized. Now after the big snowstorm last week I am so thankful to no longer need to shovel and clean the driveways etc. It's a trade off I guess.

Life is hard. Big hugs for you!
