I'm extremely stressed about moving for all sorts of reasons as well as what you described. Moving is the last thing in the world I want to do, but I'm out of options. <br />HowardHowardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084503950259010035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539769365000202093.post-9033996110338821602013-02-15T01:25:31.013-05:002013-02-15T01:25:31.013-05:00Sorry my post was so long ;(

I saw in your last couple of posts t...Hello Howard,<br />I saw in your last couple of posts that you are thinking of moving to Florida. I live in Gainesville, Florida and my daughter lives in Tampa. The only thing I would warn you of is this;<br /> <br />A mentally disabled acquaintance of mine moved to Florida from NYC and he told me he was so lonely here in Florida because in NYC just about everything he needed was easy walking distance (his disability kept him from driving), but in most cities here in Florida places to go to are more scattered about. You will almost always be near a convenience store or a gas station here, but groceries or a coffee shop might be more of a challenge. Just something to think about. <br /><br />I know you are well-traveled but you might want to look at places in a way that addresses your limited lifestyle now, before you make the big leap of moving. Of course there are also buses in our cities but they are light years from being a convenience compared to NYC transportation. Aside from that welcome to Florida!! I am a 2nd generation Floridian and wouldn't live anywhere else except for Tucson, Az. where I have also lived. I am a warm weather girl and I don't like snow even a little bit, ha. <br /><br />Anyway, whatever you decide to do, I hope it will bring you some peace of mind. I know that your living situation and making decisions about staying or leaving are stressful...even without FTD. I wish the best for you as always.<br />Take care,<br />VickiShe's not heavy...she's my Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824418278683384868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539769365000202093.post-32535447699107662452013-02-12T12:34:09.269-05:002013-02-12T12:34:09.269-05:00Howard, When you write I understand.

I hope you can make your move to Florida, really research or get help from friends make the right choice. I know you have your people that help you right when you need it the most. Stay strong my friend. Keep up on your writing so we can be on your journey with you.

I hope other writers are sharing in your patients support group. Florida is nice, but do not go fight a gator thinking you can win... meant to make you smile. May God give you the strength to continue on the journey that he has used you in. You have made a difference and perhaps I should have been one to tell you that. Many of us should tell you that. You are doing all you can for others and that is a difference that is never forgotten. I wish my husband had the motivation to write, speaking of the topic at hand, but he just doesn't. It is hard for him to do much except he works at a job making much less than he ever did. He was fired for being what they thought was rude. So he took anything, because of the good man he is on the inside. He is my hero. Thanks for the reminder.

This is all part of the wonderful adventure called life.<br />Would love to meet you some day in Baja and share some Margaritas and trade FTD war stories.<br />All the best to you my friend. <br />HowardHowardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084503950259010035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539769365000202093.post-82383349628065807052013-02-12T10:36:52.548-05:002013-02-12T10:36:52.548-05:00Change is good, and in your case obviously it is n...Change is good, and in your case obviously it is necessary.<br />I am fearful of any change that would upset my routine. I am on automatic most of the time. If I get in an unusual situation, alone, I become frozen with indecision. Usually it is just a fun adventure but as I progress it could become a big problem.<br />be well my friend, PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
