Doris, just look at the packing and ridding of yourself of "stuff" as a cleansing, and a way to get cheap exercise--no reason to go to the gym! It took us about 3 months, and at the end we felt great, but there were times when we despaired, for sure. But it's absolutely worth it.
Thanks Kathy for the good wishes--I think there have been about 20 people thru it already, open house this weekend, offers Monday. Still a very healthy market here (fingers crossed.)
