It would be so nice to sum it all up with one word..

Not sure what forum this belongs in, but many retired & empty nester friends are doing the same thing.
For me, the word is declutter. In 2019, I am working to declutter everything.

I agree decluttering is a big part if it, but it is bigger than that for me ..

I am finding a new peaceful balance in my life.

I followed my heart and moved to the beach and bought a small beach cottage.

As cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I am discovering my authentic self.

True, by minimizing the excess we make room for focusing on health, hobbies and whatever else
adds meaning to our life..

I've been living out of my car for most of the last year. Hotels, rentals, friends' homes,everything has to fit back in the car when it's time to go.

Today we bought a house. I'm thrilled to be able to shop and accumulate once more.
