A lot has been going on the last few days, lots of changes. But that’s how life is, life is change, life is movement. Today my wife and I are going to look at a house. Today is also the day my wife officially retires after 36 years of teaching. That’s a big milestone, and I’m so happy for her.

We have loved living here in Santa Fe and have met some amazing people who have become dear friends. But the long winters, the almost constant wind, and especially the high cost of living have led us to make a big decision. We’ve decided to move to another city in New Mexico.

It’s a major change and we know this will most likely be our last move. That makes it both exciting and scary. It’ll be hard to leave friends and familiar places behind but we really feel this is the right step for us. One of the biggest blessings is that we’ll be closer to our new grandson and his parents, and that means a lot to us.

So yes, a lot of changes. But that’s life, nothing stays the same. Sometimes we just have to trust the road unfolding beneath our feet and move forward with gratitude for what has been and hope for what comes next.

I wish you all a peaceful Friday, a good weekend, and a safe holiday. Take care of yourselves and the people you love.

    36 years as a teacher! That’s wonderful. A Sober and Free life in retirement can be the best years of your lives togather. We’re hopeing the best in your new home,

    Sorry we haven’t talked in a while. JoAnn and I have been busy getting our old house ready to sell to a lovely family who are just moving to Port Angeles from Idaho. Lots of things to fix just right. They will be our neighbors for the rest of our lives.
