Well it looks like it’s happening. I have movers coming on June 8th and closing on the condo on the 11th. I’m overwhelmed right now. D#1 is going to come help me a week before the move. I’m trying not to freak out from fear. I’ve never done anything like this by myself. I always had Sarge to make these decisions. I was at the new place today for a luncheon with some of my new lady friends. I’m really happy but scared. And I hate that I’m scared. I want to be strong and assertive. Deep breath...
Good morning Bee. You know my friend, you are a strongest and most assertive individual that I know. I don't like change myself but I will have to move soon also. I almost fell from the top of my stairs and after that I told Mary Lou we have to move. I'm scared just the thought of it but as usual, I said if my friend Bee can do it, so can I. You'll do OK.
ReplyDeleteSee ya.

PS: I've been trying to call you but no one answer. Is your phone out of order?
You'll do fine. You've thought this out. You've the support of your kids. They are there for you. You'll be far better off after you settle in. You'll be safer. You'll be happy. You'll see. We all fear the unknown. Often we make the unknown scary.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, honey. Big hug to you and my very best to Roche. ♥♥♥
Change is hard especially on your own -- and it's a BIG change. I'm sure less than a month after you're all settled in your new place you'll be so relieved and happy with your decision, but the steps to get there are full or anxiety. You'll be great and so glad #D1 is coming to help out.
ReplyDeleteWell, dang, you are human! I've been reading this blog for quite a while and you always seem like a super hero woman!! It is normal to be afraid of change, but the secret is to not let fear win out! And by taking this well thought out giant step, you are brave and secure and to be admired! As you say, take a deep breath and proceed one step at a time!
ReplyDeleteDeep breath. You can do it ! Your a strong person but everyone feels overwhelmed at some time. Change is hard.
ReplyDeleteSomedays you feel like "what was I thinking" but in a month at your new home you will think this is so right !
I wish you all the best in your move.
cheers, parsnip
Anything new is scary and especially when you have to do it on your own.
ReplyDeleteThe first day I moved in here, I stayed up until 4:00 am because I was scared to go to bed alone. The first time I had ever lived alone--age 63.
You've been living alone for awhile now and you will do just fine.
It's just like eating an elephant, honey. --- One. Bite. At. A. Time.
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna be great. You'll see.
big hugs xoxo
Best of luck...but you won't need it. Being scared is normal but you've done your homework and it's going to work out.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it Bee. All your decisions have been 100% right. Just think of the new lovely and fun chapter to come in your life. God bless.

hugs! ! ! You can do it. Change is one of the few constants in our lives. just make sure Roche is with you. . . .he will be there for you! And us. . . we are here for you too
ReplyDeleteBee, You know you have the grit to do anything....please do not doubt yourself. You have inspired many of us here in blogland. I am wishing you the very best in your new home and surroundings. Blessings, xoxo Susie
ReplyDelete"Strong and assertive" and "scared" are not mutually exclusive. Of course you're scared; that's a huge change. But you have so much support from friends and family. And from here, it seems like such a sensible decision. "New lady friends" says it all. I can't wait to hear about your new adventures!
ReplyDeleteIt's normal to be scared. Moving is an incredibly stressful thing. And even so, you'll get everything done and will b e happy once you are in the new place. You made the right choice for you at this stage in your life. ((Big Hugs and a piece of delicious cake))
ReplyDeleteMoving is overwhelming and changes can be scary. But those same things can be good, too. Hang in there, take that deep breath, and get through it, one step at a time. Sending you lots of hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou may be a little anxious about these big changes, but you did not make this decision without careful research. Your children support this move so they agree it will make you happier. I assume your financial planner looked over the financial implications, so you are okay there. When you are settled in your new place, surrounded by new friends and activities, I am sure you will embrace the change.
