My golly, what a roller coaster the last many months,, first let’s make plans to move to Maui in a few years. Next,,that was way too big,, so how about let’s move to Albany, Oregon.

That is closer, closer to all we love to do,,hiking, kayaking, camping,, all without rain and wind. But there were many things about that goal that just didn’t feel just right.. But I think it’s the whole process that we have been doing the past several months that has helped us fine tune our true preferences. If we moved,, we would leave our lovely spot on the Central Oregon Coast that we love so much. We have gotten our home pretty much the way we want it.. so no more hard long weekends doing remodeling and repairs. Just minor upkeep.
The yard is wonderful, but time consuming at this point. So the plan is to simplify all areas of our lives. I think that may have been part of the reason we wanted to move,, we have had several “reduction sales” with moving in mind,, so we have been downsizing and it does feel wonderful.
