Moving on!!!

Great-granddaughter, Annie and Moose + Me in Oregon

Late last spring it occurred to me that I was not having as fun in Tucson as I wanted. Seriously, days were long and lonely. Even though I filled my days with my yard and visited with neighbors, and went to classes at OLLIE (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute University of Arizona) it seemed that entertaining myself was an exercise in futility. There was a gaping hole in my life.

My oldest son had offered to buy the Arizona home. The timing seemed perfect for a move. A life-changing move is a big thing, but it just felt right to move back home to Oregon. My life here in Oregon had always been the real one. 

That was last May. I have been here in my Oregon house since then. But the final thing was left to be done. I had not changed my mail back to here in Hillsboro. Today was the day. I am officially here "permanently".

My house will be sold in a couple of weeks. It is exciting....yet I feel responsible for it still. My son and daughter-in-law were here this morning. He had been in Tucson yesterday and said the weeds were growing, and I felt a responsibility to get them cleaned up. My neighbors depend on me to keep the place looking good. Sigh!

Letting go may be harder than I thought. We will see.

Have any big changes come to your life?
