LIFE ADJUSTMENTS...........................................

All of us, at one time or another, have had to make a transition in our life.  Well, at sixty-six years old, it is finally time to make yet another one in mine.   My wonderful husband and I have decided to sell our large home and downsize into something more manageable.  We have been here almost 12 years....live in a wonderful area....have beautiful neighbors and certainly will miss this spot.   However, I know something even better is around the corner.  The biggest concern now is what to do with all the "stuff" that one does seem to accumulate over a lifetime.  Of course, we will keep things we love, but out of necessity we will part with things that no longer have any significance in our lives.  I want to do this move while we both are still alive so as not to be overwhelmed when one of us do eventually pass. I am feeling a little overwhelmed at present...but I do know that this process will take time.  It is kind of like ...

HANGIN' OUT...............................................

Artist:  Sharon Lynn Williams No......not that kind of hangin' out......LOL We are really not doing much of anything right now....packing up is finished, have visited with friends and most of them have headed for their respective homes for the winter.  Skyler is now in his third lesson in class. This was the sign Miss Ellie has waiting for us the first day.... We are making some progress....but he is FAR from being the teacher's pet...I might add. (O:  He does keep us busy...but..... I'm actually not very good at just hanging out....you would think by now, at my age, that I would be more comfortable with that concept.  I'm the kind of lady who always has a project, or has to be doing "something".....to waste time is very uncomfortable for me.  Guess that is a lesson I'm going to have to learn.  As I get older, I'm quite sure I'll be doing more Hangin' Out...so I best learn how, huh??  LOL Wanted to cl...

MOVING ON.......................................

Well, this weekend my wonderful husband and I  packed up the condo in Montana. We are packing personal items we want to take back to AZ with us this year.  Our condo is up for sale and we are not yet sure we are going to participate in the rental program up here.  So...getting it ready just in case. I don't know about you...but once I have moved on from a spot....I am ready for a new adventure.   We have such wonderful memories from each place we have lived and when we pack our beloved things.....all those memories come flooding back. I have always tried to keep just a little something from each spot to incorporate in our home down south.  Whether it is a beautiful photo or piece of art Or just something to refer to from time to time so the memories come flooding back.... You know, when I was younger, I had such a hard time with change....and now....I seem to embrace it.  What a change of heart for me! ...

MAKING PLANS......MAKING PLANS.........

  "Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes." Benjamin Franklin Changes are in the wind for us........my beautiful partner and I are ready to down size a little. Smaller spot......smaller town.......fewer expenses..... less stress. We are just kicking tires for now.......but I know we will make it happen.  We are both retired and ready for a lifestyle change....we'll still travel and see this wonderful country of ours....but hopefully our home base will be a little less work and a little less costly. I say..........We are ready.......hopefully you'll follow along on the ride....no matter how long it takes. Hugs sweet friends, Jo photo:  Art Worth Hanging UP ~ Ben Sillvermann Jeff Rogers ~ Flikr
