I'm certainly not looking forward to the move! I've been a city girl for most of my life and I like living in the city. The newer suburbs are certainly not "city" - I will miss being within walking distance of even a few stores, especially without a car.
My daughter may not like it, but I reserve the right to try it out and then move back to civilization if I want to.

It's your life and you should live it where you're happy. But I'm glad you're giving the new house a try. You may like it. But if not, there are other options.
ReplyDeleteYour life, your rule! Hope it works out for you
ReplyDeleteI just remember how you felt so isolated when you were living alone. You were dependent upon your kids to handle doctor trips, shopping, prescriptions, etc. Hopefully, living in the new house will provide you with some privacy, while alleviating some of the loneliness. I think you said Steve lives close enough that he can help with some of your transportation needs. You may be much happier than you know.

ReplyDeleteNeed to keep a positive attitude with your move and you just might be surprised how happy you will be in your new home. Personally, I think you are very fortunate that your daughter and son-in-law have included special space for you in their new home. Not many seniors have kids that would do this for them. JMHO.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right, and thanks for reminding me of that.

ReplyDeleteOur nearest neighbor is one mile from us. I lived in cities across the country - mostly very large cities. I can tell you I don't miss the sirens, neighbors making noise all hours of the day and night, dogs barking, doors slamming, street lights shining in my windows, cars revving up their motors etc... Give it a chance, I think you will like it.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, and I should try to keep thinking along those lines. I may end up loving it.
