Susan-
I always enjoy your attitude.
My friend Karen had two houses filled with memorial stuff (endless family portraits and collectables). I couldn't imagine how she would move to an apartment in a retirement community.
Always professional, she hired a professional to organize her downsizing, packing and moving to her new home, where she lived very comfortably, not having to maintain two houses full of stuff.
I'm glad you're moving on.
Let us know how it goes.

@edsutton thanks Ed
Actually, my plans have been put on hold for now.

My experience with anything that is especially important is if it doesn’t feel right, wait. God usually has plans for me, and if I jump ahead of Him I’m always going wrong.
I’ve been feeling very uncomfortable with the idea of living in a “hotel” type of environment. I have my own personal preferences. One is not having to be dressed and down to the dining room before 9 am for breakfast.

I would have my own kitchen so I could eat when I want.
I just know my absence at mealtimes, and other times will cause a stir. They like to have everyone around to socialize. No thank you.

I feel better now. I’m waiting for God to let me know what to do.
