In 2005 when I came home from Belize I resolved to downsize material things. I did that and loved it but it seems I just took on more things. Time to back off again. Need a reminder every so often.<br />QMMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721708092323894355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811816265352920171.post-75232522667597906142011-08-08T20:15:52.218-04:002011-08-08T20:15:52.218-04:00I remember Erikson's 8 stages of man from nurs...I remember Erikson's 8 stages of man from nursing school!! <br />stage 1 (i think) nature vs nurture!<br />And you are on the last stage? at your age?

We've just had a discussion with my parents (older than you) about what they should be doing next, and when. They're still able to live independently, and have their house and yard at a stage of minimal upkeep - just need to keep aware of coming needs. We and they are hoping they can get another couple of years before having to make a move. They, like you, like where they are and being on their own.

Getting older with all the ailments stinks--my blood pressure is not under control. I've got to work at it better!

What struck me is how you and your HH are open and accepting towards change most specially that it's too clear that both of you ponder and prayed for it. That's what couples should all do and you inspire me ^_^ Thanks for the post, by the way love the mosaic photo.<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.atmytabletop.com/2011/08/shade-of-rose.html" rel="nofollow">Mosaic Monday</a>Kim, USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06648960796504608061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811816265352920171.post-10543438578347288112011-08-07T22:23:03.399-04:002011-08-07T22:23:03.399-04:00Loved your reply Vee about "Jesus is older th...Loved your reply Vee about "Jesus is older than dirt."

You are a wise woman and I appreciate what you've shared.<br /><br />Sometimes the downsizing comes as a great blessing so let us believe that, too. <br /><br />(I remember wailing through every room of my much larger home and I even opened the cellar door and sobbed goodbye to the monster furnace. Now that was going some!
