It's my Friday, which means it's actually Thursday for me. I've had a busy week with lots to do both at home and at work. As a result, I wasn't able to post as often or get as many things done as I'd plan.
I've been thinking about where I'd like to be in eight years. That's when I hope to retire, yes, eight more years. I've thought about staying where I'm at currently in SoCal or moving to a less congested area. Unfortunately, I cannot think of any place in California that is not congested. So I started to think about other states. The problem with that is that my family is here.
I've enjoyed all the time, be it limited due to my job, that I get with my grandsons and the freedom to see my daughters at any given time. I can't help but wonder if I could adjust to not seeing them so regularly. That's not to say that I see them every week, sometimes it's only every other week, but I do see them. My sister lives within 10 miles and my parents are only a 30 minute drive from me. I have a close knit family so the thought of moving is very hard for me. We enjoy celebrating holidays, birthdays, and whatever else we feel like celebrating together.
So, there it is, where do I settle for retirement.

Oh, Sooz I know exactly how you feel!! I think about that too and I'm not sure I could do it!!!
Hey about posting a picture of TLC for us!! We'd love to meet him!
Sooz, take it from me - it's hard not having family around. And if you've always had them around, it will break your heart if you move away, but they always say the heart grows fonder.....it's just nice that you are so close with your family in heart and in distance.
