After retiring from my service as a school teacher. My self and my husband were to move to a smaller house.
The agent who was helping us described the house and furniture in it and said “Madam I am sure you will like the location of the house. You will realise that the house though small but worth an #investment. “I said gentleman “Happiness is something I choose in advance. Whether I like my small house or not does not depend on the furniture or the decorations in it. All material things in our house are secondary to us now.”
A gentleman asked why so madam, I said “It all depends on how I perceive my new house. I am happy my house is near to my daughter’s house. I can meet my grandchildren very often. I can teach them, play in-door games with them.”I further said” Because of this house every day will be a #gift for me and my husband. We don’t have to compete with anyone to get some time to spend with our grandchildren because we can freely give part of our time to our daughter and grandchildren because of the proximity of the house. We wish to focus in the coming days on all small activities that we can do with happiness and ease. We will collect beautiful #memories, and sometimes will visit old memories of life which we both collected in our past.”

Rs. 1899My husband said,” In a new house, we wish to get #detached from finances in the bank and hand over most of our finances to our children.”I further added” In our life we tried our best to deposit happiness in our bank account of memories. Therefore as long we remain in this house we will focus on each new day so that we can #cherish all the happy memories we have collected throughout our life. Therefore gentleman small house will be like a mansion for us. With the grace of God, our little world will be full of life.”
My husband further said” We wish to give more and #expect less in life. Thank you gentlemen for participating in filling our #bank account, where we continue to deposit our experiences of life. We as #grandparents will try to pass on #cultural and family values to our grandchildren. “Gentleman said,” My sincere advice to both will be to set your boundaries avoid being overstressed.“I thanked the Gentlemen for their kind advice."
