Note: As I mentioned before, I have been looking for a new place. With less than a month to go, I found it! And now, the heavy cost of moving, adjusting, and not missing my old place. But I always felt that it was time to move on...
And this came out.

The space has been found.
Space? Not home? Not yet, until...
There is a story.

I love how you capture with such brevity the difference between house and home.
Ah, change is our only constant. And it's frustrating!! Hope the new place will work well!
Boy, can I relate to this! We've spent the last couple of months searching for a place and with closing on 6/28 we still haven't found a permanent home. Fortunately, a friend is renting us his condo for 2 months so we can continue our quest.
Yayyyyyy, you finallyyyyyy found a place! So happy for you! 🥰🥰🥰
Interesting and delicious content. Keep posting more now.
Yay!!!! Congrats on finding a place to live, I was worried I'd have to ship my tent to you and we'd have to hope it was warm in Ontario!!! 😅
Really liked this! A good insight into house vs home
This is sweet ❤️
Best of luck in your new home. ❤️
Glad you've found a new place you like - and here's to making lots of stories there and it becoming home. Loved your haiku!
