And the water, I would love to live near the water, even within walking distance, but alas Katie is here, so here is where I will die. <br /><br />Our mums are the same age. My poor mum is in hospital right now. It's not easy getting old and it's even harder watching your mum get old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382277614743623418.post-80411369598015534522012-05-01T14:36:42.562-07:002012-05-01T14:36:42.562-07:00I always say that Kayaking is sort of like walking...I always say that Kayaking is sort of like walking. Once you get the knack it is such an excellent way to get around on the water. And quiet. <br />Have you ever read "The Living Dock"? I totally get what you're saying about docks. They are magical. Anyway, that book was written by a man named Jack Rudloe. It's a good one. He is the husband of the woman who just recently died whose video I put up on my blog the other day. He's a marine biologist too. <br />I think you are very brave to have moved. I find it inspiring.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382277614743623418.post-46112076894979550932012-05-01T14:22:58.200-07:002012-05-01T14:22:58.200-07:00I agree completely with Janzi and well done you fo...I agree completely with Janzi and well done you for doing what your heart tells you. Trust that.<br /><br />Every time I've read any of your posts lately on moving I've had a strong visual image of you in a kayak pushing away from a dock and gliding off across the water.<br /><br />In all the time I've been following your blog, I've not had any image of you come through that strongly or consistently. Not to go all woo woo on you, but that feels pretty significant to me.<br /><br />Go get that kayak and find some peace in your new home. I think getting on the water will help you settle in so don't wait and don't second guess your decision.Elizabeth Harperhttp://giftsofthejourney.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382277614743623418.post-76390648469089631562012-05-01T10:38:20.411-07:002012-05-01T10:38:20.411-07:00Even though you are lonely I think you are going t...Even though you are lonely I think you are going to find peace in your new home.

I think [by reading your earlier posts] your life was one where you fitted in to the wishes of others, whether it was kids husband or anyone else, and now you have made decisions just for you... so jolly well done girl... its marvellous that you have been able to do this... having your mum with you in her later years is very kind and loving, but you haven't spoiled things by just making do, you have made a statement and fixed on a place where you can open your heart and breath deep. Your lovely lover is only a short drive away, so its not impossible for you to catch up from time to time.. maybe he might be able to get closer, but if not, those times together will be even more special!! Having the grandchildren to stay and share in the loving times of childhood like you did with the sea and boats, well, this is a priceless gift you can hope to give them... all in all I think you have made a super decision, and if I lived closer I'd be over straight away to share some of that gorgeous alive feeling and the smell of the sea!!!! hugs from across the pond,..Jjanzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061408016373122220noreply@blogger.com
