There's something so true and deep when you said - I’m not starting from scratch. This time, I’m starting from experience - there's so much positivity and hope in this sentence.
May you be blessed in your new season of beginnings. Your new place looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story because it helps me work on having a better outlook on life 🩵
Waiting for the sadness to pass before embracing hope just leaves you stuck in the past. It's not a straight line out and some days are better than others. I love that you are embracing your future and making it what you need it to be. Don't ever let anyone else's opinion rob you of that. I love your new home and I can't wait to see what you do with it.
It takes great strength to make and follow through with the decisions you have made. Knowing details doesn’t matter. All anyone needs to know is that you are going through tremendous change. You need time, space and support to do that. Without reading your words (from photos alone) I could feel your new home giving you a loving supportive hug. It looks perfect for you!
Wonderful looking home! I appreciate what you said about 2 things can be true. It’s really hard to see that sometimes.
We lost our farmstead in February and Were days away from really being in a pickle. When we found a place it literally had 1 redeeming quality the fire place ( which go figure is broken)
I found myself being thankful that we weren’t homeless but so angry because I had no control over what happened. The dichotomy seemed impossible in my head. Because I felt that if I was thankful for our new place that I was also thankful for leaving a massive farmhouse on 300 acres, a budding dream for a cattle farm (since we already had 2 cows) as well as 50 some chickens a bunch of barn cats and the best Great Pyrenees in the world. for a trailer in a trailer park in town and of all the animals we kept two barn cats.
It felt like a lie to even be thankful and sometimes it still does. But i guess two things can be true.

A good hayloft makes a good farm or ranch. That’s just the way it goes.
The red barn is beautiful :)

The relief is real.
So real ❤️
Been there. Felt the same. Sad and angry for the loss of the life together you were building. Hopeful and excited for the possibilities in the future.
So excited for this new phase for you Jill, and hoping to be able to get to share some of it with you, as you’re comfortable.
Sending loads of comfort, support, and tenacity xx.

This makes me feel hopeful through even my small transitions. ❤️

Once again, Jill, your vulnerability and lovely way with words, has expressed the complexity of human experience. Thank you.:)

This is beautiful and poignant. Again, thank you for sharing your journey.
I too have had to start over, and what you say about two things being true at the same time is accurate. It’s bittersweet.
I wish you all the best! Just take care of today….that’s all we have after all! 💐
The two things can be true at once lesson needs to be shouted from the rooftops lol.
