I enjoyed your article. You're such an engaging writer. I like your style. I think many of us who have been around a few years know the joys and disappointments that come with good times and not so good times. One thing for sure, if we have a passion, we'll find a way to create a space to indulge that passion. Think of the Bonsai cultivation in small spaces in Japan. Small treasures. We tend to attempt that beauty in our small spaces when faced with a downsize. Good for you to keep trying!
