- Life in New England alone and thriving heading towards my 70’s!
A woman “of a certain age”….oh never mind…..I’m getting freakin old! Loving life, stymied by the world we’re living, and laughing all the way down the road to the end!
I am endlessly optimistic (when I’m not being pessimistic) and way too excitable by just about everything.
My view of the world is thru blurry rose colored glasses. You know the drill: Like, subscribe, and SHARE! Thanks for stopping by.
Give yourself grace. Get pissed, then push through. You JUST MOVED IN! You're retired, you can do whatever, whenever you want. Little by little everything will call into place. Breathe. All will be good!💜💜
❤️
Don't entertain your thoughts unless you enjoy their company. Been there, done that❤
What a great saying! I’ve not heard that before! lol
Right when you said Comcast.... just that is ENOUGH to CAUSE or deepen a foul mood considerably. Ugh. I'm eating a chocolate just commiserating with you! Geesh.
Aww Happy Belated Birthday Our Sweet Margaret. I too have been so very irritable and that’s not me. But I’ve been sick all week and my furr baby is driving me crazy. Now Margaret, this is what you e been wanting since before you retired. Change is so hard, especially at our age. Keep telling yourself, this is only temporary and before your know it, you will be in the House you designed. You better make sure it’s exactly what you’re gonna be happy with. lol🫤🤦🏼♀️😳🫣🥰🙈. You need to kick back, watch The Book Club. And have a good tummy laugh. We love ya. Relax, take a deep breath and be patient. You’re where you wanted to be. We are here for you.
Ohh dear lady your having to start again after 46 years in a different area ,I think you are adjusting amazingly, I moved from a home after living there over 30 years ,it took me 2 years to settle, I only moved to next road ,you are amazing woman ❤❤❤
Happy Birthday,Margaret😊
As the late Queen would say “Keep Calm and carry on” - this works for me sometimes xx. Take care Margaret xx
Not the Queen, Winston Churchill
Aw breakfast with your sisters that’s wonderful. I have 4 sisters and we try to meet for breakfast once a month. We call it sister therapy❤️
Happy belated birthday, Margaret! 🥳🥳🥳
I'm so very glad that you have not let up on yourself for even one second. Jumping into wall-to-wall DIY remodeling will make it all better.
Give it all a minute to sink in. New chapter. Journey's end.
Give this house a little bit of love, Margaret. It just might love you back. After all, nothing is perfect.
Peace and happiness! 💕💕💕
@therealnancy ~ EXACTLY! Couldn't have said it better myself...Margaret has such sweet followers :-) More blessed & loved by God than she realizes
Margaret it’s okay to be in a sour mood. Once in a while everyone needs a sounding board! I’m a friend and a true friend, knows that life can be difficult and we need to be there for each other. Just remember one step at a time will get you where you need to be. Be kind to yourself! Sending you a hug. Bernice ❤️
Thank you.
Dear Margaret, have I ever been in a foul mood for no apparent reason? Well, it is a beautiful summer day here, and I started my Saturday enthusiastically, but it fettered out quickly. I turned very sour, didn't finish a single task, and I don't know why. I couldn't even enjoy crocheting in front of the television which is one of my favorite things to do. It is 4:30 in the afternoon, I just had a shower and I put myself in bed with a few books and my laptop. Tomorrow is another day. Thank you for being keeping it real.
Thanks for sharing.
😂let’s see -have I been in a fowl mood for no apparent reason?? Hahahaha that made me laugh so hard!!😅
And at least you have tea and not just water. So there’s that. 😂
lol
I get in foul moods much more now that I'm in menopause. The least little thing will tick me off. Yes, venting is allowed. Love you Margaret. Many blessings to you.
You have my sympathy. Menopause moods are tough!
I hear you and completely understand! I moved today from a spacious house to a lovely but oh so small condo. I had a couple melt downs today because my furniture doesn’t fit and I have more stuff than places to put them. I know it’ll all turn out fine, but yes I think it’s ok to be upset a little. I’m just trying to remind myself that I’ve gained more freedom and let go of a lot of house and yard responsibilities. We can do this Margaret!
Love that!
What you are going through is totally normal!!!! Once things are put away you will calm down inside. Everyone has a "cranky pants day" now and then. ❤
Margaret, I noticed the M&M’s on your counter. They will definitely help you! Very important for Survival Mode!
When I picked up my prescriptions today the M& M’s seemed most important!
M&M’s always make a better moment. 😊
Enjoy 😊💕 your chocolate , Margaret. Chocolate 🍫 always helps! I have had many fowl days ! Don't apologize!
Moving - UGH!!!! It sure is different from when you were in your 30s. I short-circuited the last time I had to move, about a year and a half ago. I’m definitely not in my 30s anymore either. You are an inspiration.
Moving is always hard...and leaving a place that has been your home for decades makes it even harder...keep telling yourself 'this too shall pass'...you'll figure out how to get more space from a small footprint by going 'up the wall'..haha..like you've done using your stand alone pantry cabinet.....a tiny kitchen can be very frustrating exp after having had more space, but you'll adjust b/c you're Margaret and you're a fighter, you're an overcomer..btw...can you fit a smaller trash can under your sink? We moved two years ago and that's what I did b/c there was no floor space the one I had in the kitchen...I know you know it will all work out but sometimes it helps for someone else to state the obvious b/c you know they've been there too and totally understand. Hang in there, great days are straight ahead!!
All good points. Thanks!
Hang in there Margaret. Thank you for sharing. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Margaret, you are entitled to feeling low, it’s winter too and that doesn’t help either and to move from a place that was very comforting for years would do this to anyone especially to an older person. Just take baby steps and relax when you want and reflect on your progress over the years and sip on your tea as you do and things will fall into place….
First, may I wish you a Happy Belated Birthday. Have those chocolates and dont be too hard on yourself for your “pissy” mood; we all have them. 💕💜❤️
Happy belated Birthday Margaret! 💐🎂🎈
Change is not always as easy even when it is something you wanted. You're only human, it's a lot of things to deal with it's okay to have a bad mood. Even though you are still very sweet, hope you feel like your self soon. I don't like having bad moods either.
Have a great day! You are loved! Blessings!!!❤
Sending you a big hug I appreciate your honesty It's reassuring to know we all have moody grey days but tomorrow is always a new day 😊❤
Your adjusting you’ve been through a lot your entitled to a poor me day! 🎂Happy belated Birthday🎂
I understand exactly what you’re going through. We moved from our home of 35 years, I WANTED to move, I was excited about it. I cried the first two weeks! I couldn’t understand it either but looking back it was the change- this isn’t where I put things, where is the store, I don’t like this!! But after a few weeks things settled down and I calmed down, met some lovely neighbors and now I can’t imagine living anywhere else. It’s a process- it’s going to be ok!
Hello Margaret. No surprise there. You are human and we all have our moments especially when we are going thru major changes in our life, especially when we are older.
You will settle into your new normal and will move on, take care Margaret.☺️💗
Oh Margaret youll wake up one day, everything will fall into place, things will find a home, and youll be content. And youll laugh at your present angst! I so look forward to your posts. Good luck.
Can’t you get a smaller trash can for under the sink, Margaret? I bought a 8 gallon one for my new condo. It fits under my sink!! ❤
probably, but it’s all temporary and I’m trying to ignore the little things.
Married to a builder, I’ve over many many many times , I always go through the same thing. It’s normal!!!!! 😅❤
as a 78 year I can say 18 month ago I sold our home move 200 mile to be near my family I pack over 70 boxes and when I got to our new I had potty party but as alway I said to myself or okay Patricia put you big girl pants and get to work. lol Your just fine the way you are in a few moths you will be happy and content with your new life thrust me.
We lived in the same house for 35 years and for 25 of those years I wanted to move but my OH would not budge!! Finally we did ...when things started to wear out ..needing a new kitchen and central heating boiler to name a couple Finally having had a good clear out and all the excitement of buying all new furniture etc for the new place, I felt the same as you do and realised it was sheer tiredness and the excitement that had worn me out totally,
Take your time there's no rush ,you will get there!
Write down the jobs you need to do ,that way you can decide what to prioritise first.
I completely get it Margaret. Yes, I've been I,n 'foul' moods before and not understood why. But I think it's OK. Don't judge yourself too
Harshly. You've been working relentlessly towards an end goal and you've reached it now and it's not the end goal. You may be just catching up with feelings you didn't give yourself time to process before now. Thankyou for your honesty. I think I would feel exactly the same. ButI do think in a couple of weeks you'll feel more settled and, as spring comes, and you're looking out at that lovely garden, you'll feel nore like getting out and exploring the area. I think that will make you feel more grounded. ❤❤❤
Chocolate covered cherries my favorite too!! Notice prices going up, guess they trying to make me eat less. Was.25 now . 50 at gas station. 😢
Girl, give yourself a break. You have made a huge change in your life. It’s exhausting and stressful. You earned a bit of testiness. Love you and happy belated birthday to you!
Happy Belated Birthday!!! Of course it's a "mess". Any different place would be. Nothing has a place to be yet. And it's temporary!
Happy Belated Birthday!!!! So sorry I missed it
🎉🎵🎼🎂🎶🎂🎼🎵🎉
And you may be feeling kinda wacky because the moon is full tonight Margaret. It truly affects people's moods.
Oh fowl moods are prevalent when the crap builds up! Oh grab a chocolate bar and vent away!!! Hugs the sun will come out soon!!!!!
Margaret you're human like the rest of us. Just having a moment which can last a few hours or day, it's ok. I must say in the middle of it you've smiled quite a bit. You're inspiring, really. Look at all you've accomplished!!! 👏👏👏👏. I know it feels ucky not to have everything in semi place and lack of room. You're used to a clear kitchen. This is only for a time. A step to awesome in the meantime you get to be with your precious granddaughter, your baby. Aside from the move you visited, bday celebrations, had company; yay for Debbie & Mike. Yay for your sisters & friends. You won't be the midpoint of the girls so now you'll see they're visits as being more intentional. Seems like 1 more thing to deal with on Comcast. You'll get through this also. I think in my tiny cottage as they call it I may even have less room than you in the kitchen (the rest also). It stinks but we make do. Where there's lemons we make lemon meringue pie. You're even trying to conquer the dark basement. Starting with lights is great. I know you'll come up with something else too eventually. You've come a long way Margaret ❤.
And Happy Birthday 🎂 🤗🎊🎈🎉 be good to yourself for a whole month. Be kind to yourself. Wishing a great rest of your week, it's Friday so weekend! 💕
Maybe it's just a come down after all the stress of moving.you will get there .just try to relax through it .sending hugs
It's natural to feel a bit displaced and a bit discombobulated... You've done so much already! This too shall pass :)
Hello Margaret. Belated happy birthday! When I retired, even though I had looked forward to it, I was up and down, more sad and scared than happy. You know the “what have I done?” You not only retired, you sold a business that was your life for many years, you also moved, and it wasn’t to your new dream house. Your stress-o-meter has to be out of sight. It will work out, but it’s going to take time. Trust me, I shed a lot of tears I was so overwhelmed and today I look back and wonder what the problem was.
Great post.
Hang in there Margaret. It will get better. You will make adjustments to your temporary living situation. Remember it's only temporary. Keep reminding yourself of how great your new home will be and how great it will be to all be together. Make sure to get some rest.
Happy Birthday Margret ❤❤🙏🥰
You are going through a lot of emotions and major changes in your life. You’re just a little overwhelmed. Things will balance out in a short period of time. Hang on. You will get to a more relaxed state soon. I have faith in you🙂
All of the things you mentioned are 100% valid & totally normal. I've spent my life moving around. 2 towns I moved around multiple times within before moving away, so I can kinda get the long term comfort. I can somewhat combine the crap husband dump somewhere you thought you'd leave together from, etc. I'm in that now after 20yrs married. So many major life circumstances associated to one place. There are unconscious emotional triggers tied to you, the place, change, "things", etc. You will probably run the gamut of emotions for a time period bc your body and subconscious has to let go one at a time, or in groups of shared emotional events. It's why you are feeling this emotion so intensely but have no conscious reason why. It's many reasons that are taking the back route so you can continue moving forward in your tasks. So...don't worry that you're going to be an emotional teenage for a bit. Just take your little bits of peace, happiness, comfort to help you through it here and there. Coffee is my go to & chocolate. ☺️👌 If you take baths, awesome time for one just before bed...or shower. Maybe add something with a nice scent to it. One thing I used to do was use a heating pad on the back of my neck & shoulders which helped a lot. Yes, I had the ac on high and fan blowing nearby, lol. It will all pan out a bit at a time. You know that we love you unconditionally😁 Love that you shared this 😘♥️☕
You perfectly nailed all the reasons!!
You just need to remember what's ahead for you! This is all temporary and some day you'll have your own little place!!
You’re doing great Margaret. A move takes a lot of time to get organized and feel “at home”.
Hang in there. Better times are ahead. You can do this. It is only temporary.
I would be reacting just like you. We've been in the middle of a kitchen remodel for several weeks, and I'm so stressed out. Nothing fits where it used to fit. I've lost space in some areas and gained in others. I'm tired and grumpy, so I get it.
Hi, Margaret! You are only human and you're entitled to be a little out of sorts now and then. Particularly after your life just got turned upside down though in a good way. I think we've all experienced being cranky just "because". You're not alone there. Your little home is so charming. After my divorce, I lived in what was intended to be a temporary apartment and I ended up living there for three years due to circumstances beyond my control. It was way too small and I had cartons stacked up behind the couch, under my art table, in my bedroom (like you do). Furniture placement was creative to say the least. I stacked some of the sturdier boxes behind the recliner and turned them into a console table with a tablecloth draped over them. I had no room for a chest of drawers in the bedroom so it was placed against one wall in the kitchen. By the time I could move from there, it had become "home" to me in a strange way. The paintings I'm most proud of were painted in that cramped little apartment. Have a great weekend! See you next time!
I can sympathize with you. I have moved twice in the last four months. Twice. I am 80 years old and did all the packing myself. But had family do the physical moving. So I have had some of your feelings and thoughts myself. It does get better as we all know, it is the meantime that is so darn hard to deal with. I have just started watching your channel and find you very interesting. Good luck with it all.
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Margaret Happy Belated Birthday Wishes. It's Ok to be a bit cranky you've been pushing yourself so hard and hadn't had much time to relax or adjust yet. I'm thinking its all not up to your standards yet and it's getting the best of you. You will get there and will feel calmer as you get the ranch home set up the way you want it. It is a Huge change. Hang in there we are hanging in there for you as well. Your showing some of us what we may be in for and it's helping us to see it's not going to be easy but it can all be worth it. When one door closes another one Opens. Pat yourself on the back for all that you have accomplished in such a short amount of time. You have been on a long roller coaster ride and your at a pit stop for now. Bigger & better things are just around the corner. Enjoy all the tea & chocolates you want and take a breather. Thank you for sharing with us I enjoy your videos. Sending you a big hug from Northeast Pennsylvania 🤗💕
That's so funny Margaret... They gave me gifts, which I hate!😂
You'll work your way through these challenges just like you always do. You're AMAZING!! No one keeps Margaret down. I love your "taking care of business" attitude.
Oh Margaret dear....I absolutely hate when I’m in a foul mood for ?? reason! I believe you are just stressed and tired. Give yourself some grace and breathe. You have done a remarkable job of moving in a small window of time. Even though you are happy about the move, it’s still all so different for you. Prayers and hugs! 🦋🥰💕🙏
belated "Happy Birthday" and moving is never easy... be good to yourself and take care!❤
Margaret, it's ok to vent. We all have bad days. Statistics show that moving is one of the top stressors that one can experience. My husband and I moved into our new home last fall. All of my belongings were in 5 different locations. (long story). Anyway, at the end of our move week, I was what I call "cry baby tired". The littlest things would set me off and I was very weepy during that week. It took weeks to adjust and transition, but now, we have pictures on the wall and I've found a place for most of my stuff. AND, I'm aware that I had a hubby to help me with the things that I couldn't do, like putting a cabinet together! Whoa. You rock. I admire your tenacity to keep going.This parenthesis time will soon pass and before long, you will have your own nest just the way you want it. In the meantime, I will pray that you will have peace under pressure. Hang in there friend. Thanks for keepin' it real. And don't worry, God's got this! (PS A belated happy birthday to you!)
It will get better🌸🌸
Margaret, I sold my first house in 2022. I bought that as a single parent with 3 children and raised them there. I had the same neighbors for 35 years. I bought a home just over a mile from my daughter in a nice neighborhood, but a large city. People here are busy coming and going, raising children, and doing their own thing. I'm almost 84, and use a wheelchair and/or rollator to get around so I'm unable to visit people due to lack of ability to get up steps. I have one wonderful neighbor that sends delicious meals at times. But they also have a home outside the USA and are gone for months at a time. My grandchildren moved to another city so it is just me and my daughter. My daughter is busy driving to my former home county - to help with her grandchildren. It is best I moved here where there is better medical care, and a mile from my daughter, just in case. But - home? No - it isn't where the memories are made. It is quite an adjustment for sure.
Thank you for sharing.
Put a bureau in front of the cellar door😀
Hello Margaret, I'm so glad you know you can vent anytime it is needed. This to shall pass as it must seem a wee bit overwhelming, time and learning to pace yourself with realistic goals will be just what you will settle into, at least that seems to work for me after l get really ticked off with my crappie attitude and feeling put off.Remember Rome wasn't built in a day be kind and realistic to yourself if all else fails scream all the bad words you can think of,slam the drawers as hard as you can and make a plan to tackle one thing at a time. Hope l'm not coming across too preachey, but l do remember being in your predicament on more than one occasion and it isn't fun but it is all apart of the new chapter. Hang tight girl and thanks for another great video 😊 try and have a good week😅
Thank you.
If this is you being grumpy, then there’s no hope for the rest of us. You are an inspiration even after moving households just a few days ago. And I spied M&M’s in the kitchen!
lol
I could never do what you’re doing and be as chipper as you have been! I watch and say to myself “why can’t I be that way?” You’re doing a great job! I want/need to sell the house of 30 years and move to flat ground/no steps, and the thought of doing it physically and mentally makes me sit down and cry so hard. I hope I can be half as happy as you are!! I’m not able to do even half of what you do physically! I’m 63. I’m also a stylist of 44 years who had to give it up, and I just miss EVERYTHING. You are doing SO much better than I would. You are an inspiration to me. I’ll try and think of how you’ve handled this when I finally make the move. ❤
You’ve got this. Take the first step and don’t look back.
Bless your heart. You are a perfectionist. Why not just leave all packed up but what is necessary to live. My hubby was the same maybe worse
That’s what I am doing.
New subscriber. Love your yard. You will make your house a home one step at a time.
Thanks for subbing!
Chocolate covered cherries was my mother’s favorite chocolate too. So glad that you had a very happy birthday with your sisters. I have two sisters and we always enjoy getting to spend time together. Everything will all work out. Look at all you’ve accomplished! You sold your home quickly and got moved out rather quickly too. You like things to be organized but you have plenty of time to settle in. Wait until you start construction on your new apartment. We built this house back in 1973…That was almost 51 years ago and I still remember all the problems and delays we had. We were supposed to move in about two months that turned into six months. Our oldest son was a year old and we were both working. It all worked out and now we’ve been married 54 years. Where has all the time gone? We have to crawl before we walk and soon all these days of frustration will just be a memory. ❤
Margaret, you're entitled to vent. My gosh, you've had a huge few weeks! And I think you told us you were in your old home for 45 years (give or take). Just think what a shock this is to your system. I'm convinced our brains take time to catch up with huge changes. When my husband and I downsized and moved, I felt like a zombie, but then every day got better. We moved in order to take care of our little grand daughters, and as soon as we got back on schedule and I saw those little beauties and kissed those chubby cheeks, I was back in 7th heaven. I'm staying tuned to see what a week brings you.
Happy Birthday! I get suspicious of people who are always upbeat and happy, makes me think they are phony, because I know everybody has bad days. Why don’t you give yourself a break, and hire a professional organizer to help you? Relax and remember to breathe. 😊
You are doing quite well. You are working so hard. You deserve to take a break❤️
Happy Birthday, Margaret. Tomorrow is another day!
Yes! Thank you!
Hi M, it's called a transition. People don't often understand the complexities of transitions until they look back and can understand that there was a disruption to their rhythm.
omg, I am going through the same exact mood changes as you. My challenge is a tiny ADU rental I moved to from a 2-bedroom home. The details of paper work and space are driving me nuts. So, hang in there Margaret...you're not alone...of course that's no consolation is it?
Happy belated birthday🌹, It is what it is Margaret,(a unhelpful phrase) Rome was not build in a day( another unhelpful annoying phrase) 😂eat chocolate and breath , I think you are doing well as it's overwhelming with so much to do , this time next week you will be feeling a whole lot better, moan away we love it ❤
Dear Margaret, you are not complaining at all, just saying what is going on with you. You have been through a very busy time and I can well understand how you feel that you can't just feel at home right now, even though you prefer to be at the transition house. Who can we talk to as women, if we can't talk to each other. I feel like I want to give you a big hug. A belated Happy Birthday to you and lots of love from Ireland x
Only do one room at a time and that way you won't feel over when. Don't allow your self to jump from room to room❤️🤗
It's been a big change for you, Margaret! I wish you had someone or more, to help you. It's a huge load to do it on your own. I'm not mad you're venting? Believe me, I've been there. I'm wishing you the best! 😊
From one Margaret to another Happy Birthday🎉
Yay! Thank you!
I'm surprised that it took this long to be in a lousy mood !!! You've had so much going on and so much change. Give yourself time. Sit down and relax anytime you want!! You'll get there !
This is off topic, but I ran across a recipe for cabbage steaks and thought about your experience baking them, and baking them, and baking some more. Cracked me up remembering that video. You make life a bowl of cherries; enjoy yours!
Your in a mood because it’s very tiring and your Done!! We get it. Debbie and Mike are such nice people. Take care of your self Margaret. You can vent any time you want. We understand.
Happy belated birthday 🎂 🎉! That’s a chocolate cake because if you’re a chocolate lover, it’s the only kind to have! Could your mood be more about the birthday than the jumble in the house? I’m at the point I hate having a birthday. But I also don’t like moving because of the before and after messes. Give yourself a get out of jail (bad mood) free card knowing the mood will pass and just wallow in it for today. Drinking tea and eating chocolate cherry cordials is a great start! 👍
I wasn’t going to tell you, since you first showed a bit of the house I really liked it. After seeing the yard and a full tour (without the basement), and hearing it’s on a dead end street…my heart is aching because it’s basically what I have been looking for. But it doesn’t exist in decent condition with a price in my budget where I live. By that I mean a 10-15 mile radius around the nearest town I currently live 10 miles from. What I have realized from your journey is that everyone has different hopes, dreams, expectations and tolerances. Thank goodness, otherwise we would all be robots living in identical cubes! So for the rest of your stay in that place, make the adaptions necessary to maintain your sanity and a moderately good mood and then actively ignore what you don’t like. Kind of like a horse with blinders. This too shall pass. 😉💕💕💕
I get like that mood when things don’t go smoothly
First of all, Happy Birthday! 🎉 I completely understand how you feel! You’re frustrated because your daily routine is gone. Moving into a new place is tormenting! I had to move from a 3200 square foot farmhouse into an 1100 square foot townhouse! Ugh!! I had a beautiful kitchen, now I have a galley kitchen. So, I understand how to put 10 lbs of peanuts in a 5 lb bag! May I suggest, Be careful of the money you’re spending on temporary things. Example: The cabinets your putting on that wall for storage. Will those go with you in your newly built home? Could Michael reuse them after his renovation? As I said, I know what you’re going through. But remember this is temporary for you. From experience, you’ll get used to it. You have better days coming!💕🤗
Great advise. The cabinets will be used 8n the garage or cellar.
Change is hard no matter the age. Being willing to adapt is the key. You seem to still be a problem solver which is good. Have a good week Margaret
I totally understand how you feel. A move is one of the most stressful times in our lives. Cut yourself some slack. Maybe get out in nature for a good brisk walk. Burning that cortisol will help. ❤️
Belated happy birthday to you! It sounds like you had a lovely day with sisters and friends. You don't need me to tell you but I will! Moving is stressful. Selling a house is stressful. Dealing with phone companies is more stressful than the two put together 😂
You'll be fine, a little down time, a good lock on the cellar😬, and you'll be right as rain again! 💪🏼😊
Happy birthday Margaret. Nice u met ur sisters & ur neighbors visited. Complain away 😅 sometimes it feels good to just vent. It will all work out. Don’t unpack too much, ull be moving again. Thanks Margaret
Oh my goodness, Margaret, you have to be the hardest working woman I know…actually watch! Happy belated birthday to you and I hope you realize with each new year it is not only a gift but a richness of knowledge and wisdom we gain. I’m sure you already know this and truly don’t need a strange lady telling you this… Anyway, I think it’s humanistic to feel what you’re feeling. Change no matter where we are in life is always an adjustment. Allow yourself only those things that create peace in your life. I think that’s all we really want in life..right? I’m looking at 72 on the 29th…yeah I’m a leap year baby, actually 18…but I know better. However, looking at a new year full of changes too…and probably a new home. Changes…got to love them! Love the beautiful landscape peeking out the back door. Pretty! Be well and try to pace yourself and don’t forget to be kind to yourself. Visit again soon. Xo
Margaret you are doing great. A lot of changes are happening. They are all good! When I moved from my apt to a house I cried for a week then told myself suck it up buttercup but have lived here over twenty years and love it.❤
Suck it up buttercup is one of my favorite sayings! I actually had tee shirts made for the salon crew with that on the back!
I second what everyone has been telling you. Even though this is what you want it's hard to leave what you had for so many years. Give yourself some time and it will all be good Remember that That flowers don't bloom without a little rain. You mentioned your coffee pot and not being able to lift the lid. I had the same issue and I bought a Kitchen Cady from amazon. It has a sliding tray and it works great. Maybe this will help. Hang in there things will settle down. Oh yes and Happy Birthday🎂
You are overwhelmed…who wouldn’t be? It will get better…I think you have accomplished SO much…and in a short time. Happy Birthday…I hope you get to celebrate and have a fun break from the move. ❤🎉
Margaret,just breathe and take your time sorting it all out…🤗 Lea
Happy Belated Birthday, Margaret! 🎂🎉Wasnt this a Milestone birthday for you? Moving and unpacking is exhausting...plus I find I'm more emotional around my birthdays as I get older especially milestones. Could that be contributing?
I don’t THINK the birthday affected me. Who knows.
Retirement time. Take your time. Happy Birthday 🎉
Happy belated birthday. Let yourself be in a bad mood. It will pass. Have a great weekend.
Happy Belated Birthday! It will all work out.
I'm so glad you had a nice birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 ❤ you have such wonderful ppl all around you ❤
& YAY your moved 👏👏
