“considering a move to “the middle of nowhere”.
_______________________________________________
One of the natural consequences of that is, like you wrote, 30 minutes to run errands.
When considering a big move, I have found that you really need to be in touch with your inner feelings- your gut- and respect those thoughts about your decision.
Thanks for the input, much appreciated! My gut instinct is trying to tell me to move much closer to our granddaughter (2).
We live just over an hour away from them now and although this is not very far and we see them a lot, it is not quite the same as being truly integrated as part of their lives with this level of distance. Of course we don’t want to be interfering either and I think we can pull this off as my personality is the type that is not interested in micromanaging my daughter and son and in law at all.
Transition decisions can be stressful.
