Re: Good afternoon
My Pro's & Con's would probably be completely different than yours because they all have to do with the old age that I have gotten to be. I really like living here except climbing stairs to the second floor, carrying things up, going down to get the mail, carry out the trash, etc. Also I am getting wobbly on my feet and I am shaky in my shower and have nothing to hold on to. Would so love a walk-in tub and shower but this place won't let me get it changed. Also they won't let me put in a washer & dryer for the clothes. For two years now Son has been picking up my laundry every week and taking to his house to launder, dry, fold, and drive it back. He is so sweet about that and never complains. There is a laundramat here but it is in the sub-level so that makes two levels to do the carrying up and down.

Good afternoon
I would love to read your list of pros and cons of moving. We have been house hunting for two years due to our landlord's refusal to sell us the home that we live in now. We have lived in our current rental for almost ten years, but we have severely outgrown it. If we did own it, there would be an addition added. I love this little cottage home that we have landscaped and surrounded by flowers, trees, and bushes, but the time has come for us to move somewhere in the near future.

It must be bittersweet living alone. My SIL lost my brother early in the year. I phone
her up each day. She wants to stay in her bungalow, sadly we all wait until it is
necessary. I think you are coping better, writing even if it is ordinary stuff kind of
relaxes the mind. Also, it is always nice to read from you,

Re: Re: Goldiec
It would be to the senior community where my sister lives. We would be close neighbors and it is very nice. I am already very familiar with it from spending time with Sis.

Re: Ciel
If I do move, it will be to the senior community where Sis Nila lives. Right now they have no vacancies and I am not free to move until the end of April. The biggest thing against moving there last year, and will be when I do, has to do mostly with Phil. After covid came upon the picture, it messes with Stephen & Phil's freedom to come and go as they please to visit me. I don't have that here.

My sister who traded in her house in Estes Park is very happy with the senior community she lives in now. It has levels of increasing care as residents require, and all the staff are wonderfully supportive. If you can find something like that, that could be worth all the fuss and bother of moving!

Today is our time. We can make the best of this one, and only this one.
The months and years are a patchwork of lovely and/or best-forgotten, but today? Well, we can handle this one day. A cup of coffee, the view from the kitchen window at sunrise and then see what the rest of the day brings. Be well.

Re:
Taps, do you have any thoughts on where you would like to go? I think it's awesome that we can turn on our computers and have our friends wherever we go. I think that is really priceless. I've made so many writing friends over many years and they are all at the other end of my keyboard. We are all close and I love it. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Mythoughts exactly when I moved 15 years ago from Australia to Canada and this year after losing darling Wiley from home to here in the USA. I take Blogit and friends with me.
