80-something followers may recall that in November. 2024, my condo building was found to be unsafe because of inferior construction decades ago.  We residents had four weeks to vacate.

With so little time to look, I moved to a “temporary” apartment where I stayed for eight months.  And then I moved to the independent living part of a continuing care community. 

Two days ago, I moved again. I found living in the woods (though beautiful) with only people of my generation was not for me.

It is well known that moving is one of life’s biggest stressors, but six days ago, I moved back to Cambridge.

Yes, it’s stressful to move.  But I see the Charles River if I sit up in bed, and this morning there was a family of ducks passing by. 

It’s great to be back.

    I’m so happy for you! And I completely understand because I am also in a senior building after 40 years of living in a condo complex with all ages in a great location for culture. I applaud you!

    Moving is a short term stress, living somewhere you don’t like is a daily stressor. A wise decision. Happy for you.

      Excellent point, Victoria! And bravo, Judy!! Hope your new place will work out better for you, although I know you’ll always miss your window overlooking the river.

    I totally understand. How wonderful you are able to still live on your own.

    You are so brave and so implacable. I admire that. I am so happy you can see the river and are home again. What a ducky situation. Judith
