Please select the statement that best describes your future plans with regard to moving:I would like to move, but don’t have any specific plan.
Describe any thoughts and feelings that the idea of moving invokes for you, or any positive or negative connotations that moving carries. (This might include memories of past moves, plans for future moves, or your experience with someone else’s move that was significant for you.)Since I left home 54 years ago, I have moved 23 times. Only a handful of times were by movers the rest we did ourselves. Moving is a lot of work and expense. Although it can be an exciting adventure, I’m just not up for more than one more move. And that would be from our rental townhouse to our own home. We know exactly what type and size home we want and the place. We are still looking and hoping to find that perfect place. In the meantime, I am decluttering my things. I just need to convince my spouse to do the same so that we can be paired down and ready to go.
Consider the present condition of your home and its contents, and then answer this question: If you had to move from your home in a short timeframe, what would the greatest challenges be?In 2 of my moves I had less than 2 weeks notice so moving quickly isn’t really a problem as long as we would have movers to do the heavy lifting. The most challenging aspect would be hubby’s things as he is still not convinced that decluttering is something he needs to do. The biggest challenge would be keeping our cat calm as any disruption in her routine causes gastric upset.
If money, logistics, work, citizenship, travel time, etc., were no obstacle, where would your ideal place to live be? (For example: Ed would like to live in a penthouse in the heart of Rome with a place in the Alban Hills where he’d go on the weekend. He can dream, can’t he?)My ideal place would be a peaceful sparsely populated area on a hill top so I could see all around me with forests below the hill and a beautiful lake. I would also like to have a train station not too far away so when I get the traveling bug, I could hop on a train and go.
