I really have no long range plans and being 72, my main plan is to be as healthy as I can and be alive in 5 and 10 yeas!!! However, my dh shocked me a couple of weeks ago when he kind of mumbled "well who knows how long we'll be in this house" to some talk we were having about something. We have talked before about hoping to stay in our home til we leave it in a casket etc and remodeled with a lot of that in mind on the ground floor. So...I don't know where he's going with that thought and part of me doesn't want to discuss it either. I'm happy where I am!
My immediate plans include getting back to walking as soon as it's cool because I totally hate even leaving the house when it's hot and humid. I'm also well on my way to cleaning out and giving away a lot of things which will then leave me a final organization of photos to sort and maybe digitize. The final thing I have in my head to do is go through each drawer in the house, one by one, slowly, and really do the Konmari kind of sorting. Use it? love it? if not out!!
One of the emotional shifts I have finally come to grips with is that there are many things I may not do or get to do in this lifetime. I can't say how that shifted but it did and I feel less of a desire to hold on to many things for that 'someday'. It's very freeing feeling.
