Decisions decisions. i thought this was not required after reaching the level of "old-dum".
Retirement to me intially was not a given option so I find it confusing. I did not know that life went on after life went on. Now I do, and don't know that I find my self willing to settle for one place over another. I love the United States of America. I have been to every single of the 50 states in my lifetime. They are all wonder filled and offer so much in the idea of home.
There we go though. What exactly would be the idea of home. Definition?
As the quip goes, home is where you go .... when you are sick, or lost, or hungry, or lonely or ........ home is where the heart is --- where the heart heals --- where the soul steps out to find even more that this world is HOME. Lots of definitions.
I have to say that if it were a given "area" in which i should land this would be a difficult decision. I would pick ........ if i were younger and stronger, Oklahoma. If I were leaner and meaner, Missouri. Here I am in Idaho and love it. I feel that for me, Idaho is my "home of choice" so to speak. With good ol Charlie the RV, I can make home just about anywhere, but the reality is that there have been and will continue to be times that Charlie is out of the question and "home" may be yours or someone who care's or and extended care facility or ..... the land of granite sculpture.
I pick the United States of America, and I pick Canada, and I pick anywhere I may be able to drive and thrive. Oh, I can be that flexible? Okay then, I pick Idaho.
