Remembering Our Sweet Vixen
2006-2019
2017-2018-2019 - Change Change Change
You never know what life can bring you until you accept change. We have been living in a world full of change and movement. Our kids are living the same mode. We all seem to see the world and life in such a fluid way and are not afraid to try new things.
In 2017 we still lived in Colorado. We loved the beautiful mountains, but when my husband decided to completely retire, we started thinking about what was next in our life adventure. In 2018 we moved to South Carolina near Charleston. We have loved the history of this area, and have truly enjoyed our home and neighborhood, but just like before, the winds of change have been blowing. We realize how blessed we have been to live in so many wonderful, interesting places. We have loved every experience, but we also have realized how much we have missed the state where we lived as a family for the longest time of our life. We are so aware that when you are retirement age and life is a bit shorter on this end, that if you feel the need to go back home to where your memories had so much fun and laughter, that maybe you should jump and make your final destination where roots remain, and where you smiled the most.
So...here we go again. To be honest, everywhere we have lived there have been rough patches and also amazing moments of happiness, but we decided to cancel out the rough patches and go where we had the most smiles for the longest period of time. We are thinking about Florida and Mickey. You see, we are just kids in old people form, who just want to enjoy a bit of childlike life. We do not want to be surrounded by so much negativity which has seemed to take over this country. We can accept the craziness or decide to be happy in spite of the craziness. Although we have not made a 100% decision, we are aware that a decision for our final life location is going to happen.
Again, we loved our growing up years in Indiana, the transition months in Texas, and the exciting beautiful landscape of Colorado with our son's family who also lived in the area. We have truly enjoyed this almost vacation-like few years here in South Carolina, but it feels like our final destination may be going back to Florida where the sunshine and whimsy surrounded the longest, happiest time of our lives as a married couple with children. We know that we are the only ones who can make happiness happen, no matter where we live, so we are not making this decision without lots of thought and prayer. But...just maybe, this will be our final "over the rainbow" destination where we feel "there is no place like home." We may see you real soon Mickey!
