As I look back on 2019 it is incredible what a difference a year makes. A year ago we were on our way to spend 3 months in Florida after a long gloomy cloudy fall in CT. I was struggling with my arthritis and not sure if I would ever be better.
12 months later we are fully downsized into our on level townhouse and almost totally settled. Although I still am having some mobility issues, my arthritis is under much better control with medication and we are looking forward to our new life in Florida. I am grateful for so much this year. We are blessed to have three awesome loving daughters and son in laws who welcome us whenever we want to visit. 9 extraordinary sweet grand-kids that are growing up so fast into lovely young men and women. I love when we get a chance to face time with them and see their beautiful smiles and hear their voices. I am grateful for my amazing sisters, a brother an his wonderful wife who is my 5th sister. Their love and support has been nourishing to us especially during this transition to a new chapter in our life. And so many special sister friends across the country that have touched my life in special ways and still are close to my heart even though we don't see each other very often. They each are so special to me. Despite my arthritis issues, I am grateful that I am generally healthy for a 72 year old. I am grateful for our real estate agents both in Florida and CT that held our hand and protected our interest in the buy and sell process. I am grateful for the wonderful builder that managed the reno project on our new home. After talking to people in Florida and hearing all the horror stories of inept shoddy contractors and no show or slow tradesmen, we have had top notch people working on every aspect of our project. And most of all I am grateful for my husband who is traveling this journey with me. He is the love of my life and my soulmate.
