Wherever you go - you take yourself with you. You can never escape from yourself. smile

It's good to have a backup plan and to be able to return if things go wrong. Don't burn all your bridges. smile

Good luck! wave

michaelright: So when does middle age turn into old age age ?
doh When you let it! comfort Personally, I'm 70, going on ??! You're whatever "age" - MENTALLY - that you CHOOSE to be.

As far as picking up and relocating to a new place, Dee, I've been through it several times. NOT ALWAYS through desire (on MY part). The one piece of advice I'll give you, is "DON'T BE "TIMID"! Get involved in things and with the people of your new location! If you can afford to, buy a bunch of hot dogs, or whatever cheap local "fast" food is popular in that area, whip up some potato salad, order a keg of brew, and print up an invite for all your neighbors to come to a BBQ on Saturday! The thing I DISLIKE about modern western culture is the lack of "community" in most population centers, today. People can live next door to someone for 10 years, and not even know their name! When you arrive in a new area, check it out! See if there are any things happening in the area, that pertain to interests of yours! And GO TO them. The "key" (as far as "I" am concerned) is to "get involved", as much as possible, as soon as possible. The MORE "involved" you are, with your new people and places, the less time you'll have, to miss your old friends and environment. And SOON, you'll wake up to find that you have a whole NEW set of friends and activities! Or NEW PEOPLE to share OLD activities WITH! Go explore your new environment! You may find MANY NEW things, you've never known/done before! And LIKE many of them. DON'T BE "afraid" to try new things, pitch in and help, with community projects! It's ALL about "participating"! The MORE you participate, the more you'll get involved with the people and places of your new environment! The MORE new "friends" you'll make. The more activities you'll be invited to. And the less lonely and "outsider" you'll feel! The MORE "interested" you are (in your new environs), the more interesting you'll be TO, and FOR your new "friends"! And the MORE "FUN" you'll have! JMO dunno hug Happy ADVENTURE! thumbs up grin
