Leaving it better

The hours are winding down to the day we will officially leave our New England home. There are always mixed feelings...leaving behind friends, family, wonderful neighbors, childhood history and places of life changing events. As I look back at my home in particular, I remember moving in on my first wedding anniversary. How blessed we were to have such a beautiful home! As beautiful as it was, it was a blank canvas for landscaping. Today, as I walked the property, taking pictures of Spring's splendor, I am delighted to know we are leaving our home more beautiful and better than when we got it. It is a true measure of success and delight when I can leave something better than when received. Without any modesty, I proudly declare, "we did good!" The new owner will place their mark and when they are ready to move on, I hope they leave this home more beautiful and better than when they got this lovely home.❤️🏠
