Thinking about moving to an RV? You will soon experience the joy of downsizing!
I’ve found it truly is a joy, and so have many of our residents here at our RV park in Lake Fork.
When I started downsizing, it was just from 2400 sq ft to 1200 sq ft. That was relatively easy as we didn’t need two living areas and 4 bedrooms anymore. We found we were actually quite comfortable, and may I say, I loved cleaning less space, but I had put so much in storage as “you just never know.” Then we downsized again, quite a bit more as you probably have. I must say, I enjoyed giving away so much to my own kids, then friends, and then to charity. It’s definitely true, if you want to be blessed, bless others; if only for the joy you’ll receive. And that storage? We realized we could have re-bought anything we needed with how much money we spent paying for storage for stuff we obviously never did need.
One of my favorite downsizing ideas: that whole bookcase shelf of photo albums and boxes of photos that I’d keep til my dying days…I chose my favorites and put them in a moving picture frame. Hundreds of them. It’s a cherished possession, takes up precious little space, and the best part – I actually see those photos I couldn’t part with. The memories that flash across that screen are better than a movie.
Now, I’ve found that the joy of downsizing can be a way to connect with others, and maybe even make new friends.
