Hi!  How are you doing this fine tuesday?  I feel a bit more relaxed today as compared to yesterday, and that is because Amanda and myself have made a decision in regards to moving or not.  Over the past 2 to 3 weeks, we’ve been weighing out the pros and cons of moving from our quaint and cozy 1 bedroom downtown apartment.  Finally after going to look at almost half a dozen places in a town called Port Moody, (which is about 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver) we finally decided to write out the exact place that we want, like we would write out a goal.  After writing everything out, it occurred to me that, besides having a smaller old fashion kitchen (without a dishwasher), we are basically living in our ideal home for right now.  Yes it’d be nice to live in a place that’s bigger, or the penthouse suite, or in a brand new building…but thinking about everything, made me realize how truly grateful I am for our home just the way it is.  I definitely look forward to challenging myself to earn higher levels of income, continuing my simplified life, and eventually moving in the future to a larger, more modern suite, but right now I feel blessed to have the home I do!

It’s easy to pick out the faults or problems with the home you live in, but what I want you to focus on are all of the things that you appreciate about your home.  Please share with me the blessings you feel from the home you live in!

Have a great day!

Here are some pictures from my apartment balcony, that really make me feel blessed to live where I do!
