How many times did we move to a new house? 🤔 don’t count, please!
This is not because of me ( sometimes not always) but our circumstances change: having children, finishing studies, my husband starting a new job in a different city, problems in old house, …
When my children watched their old photos, they would say; how many times did we move mama? That house was the best? Yes, we remembered that doll’s flat, we cannot remember that one, we were too little, … it’s fun to talk about moving but it’s really a hard time: packing, unpacking, tidying, cleaning, changing address, and endless list of chores
Our new house key lock is so hard, it takes time to open the door, sometimes it’s stuck. My son gave up, every time texted me; open the door mama, I’m very close. I would have ignored his text and let him try till he open it, but it might end up with an extra charge for door damage.
Though different but this reminds me of our first flat at university accommodation which was like a maze; every time when coming back, I tried hard to open the door, and it refused, no way it insisted, until I gave up, raising up my face, oops It wasn’t ours. When we became friends, I told my neighbour about those countless numbers when I thought hers was mine; ‘ I have never noticed that,’ she said, ‘ and ‘ this is why we become friends,’ I thought.
Wishing you all the best,

I moved many times when I was in school. My daughter moved 9 times when she was in college. I’m fortunate that after I graduated. I lived in my current house for 26 years – that is nice. Hope you don’t have to move again too soon!

So I’m not the only one 😀. Yes, I hope so Mariam, my parents did never move to a new house, but they did not need too. The same with my grandparents. Thanks so much for reading and your comment.

Just moved once from an apartment to our own house back in 1995. Can’t imagine we’ve been here for more than twenty years.

I have moved many times, not only houses but countries 🙂 At each stage, there’s a move, but it’s all part of the fabric of our lives.

Thankfully I have not moved as often, and have been within my own home here for 36 yrs. But each home holds its memories with likes and dislikes.
I love that the wrong door resulted in a lasting friendship.. I enjoyed reading Nahla
Love and Blessings.
Sue 🙂 ❤

I moved quite a bit when I was younger and used to think of it as an adventure. That changed when I settled down with a partner. We’ve been in our current home for close to 25 years.

It may be tiring but it gives you a chance to see new places and meet new people. The wrong door led you to the right friendship, that’s an interesting part. Take care.

I can relate about moving many times. My parents moved a lot when I was small. I moved several times when I was a student and then started working. We even moved several times after getting married. Each place is memorable. Alhamdulillah, masha Allah.
