I think the best thing about teaching is we always have a chance to start over, regroup, rest, think, drink over the summer. I think your taking it slow is a good choice - a friend of mine told me to take three years after a major split to make any rash decisions. You've got a double whammy - a split and retirement. Take it slow, and do what feels right. You'll know when that is. :)Rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-38939078150641199762014-02-14T09:42:02.879-05:002014-02-14T09:42:02.879-05:00That's a very tempting portrait you've pai...That's a very tempting portrait you've painted there!

Maybe you first Christmas in Crofter's lane with the snow falling nicely and you all warm,reading a book with a nice glass of wine and Kazi cooking the turkey diner.<br />I think your retirement is going to be wonderful and your confidence is just hiding a bit because you were blindsided and hurt. You are a strong woman and it shows by how much you have done already to put yourself back together and start to enjoy life again.the witch witchisland blogspotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-53005620862392374392014-02-13T22:28:57.563-05:002014-02-13T22:28:57.563-05:00That's one advantage to being on my own - I CA...That's one advantage to being on my own - I CAN change my mind whenever I like and who's going to argue with me??Jane Harrisonhttp://www.lifebeginsatretirement.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-3148558360990489142014-02-13T22:28:17.382-05:002014-02-13T22:28:17.382-05:00You are a wise soul Barb!

In that case, why couldn't she rent your condo? That way, you'd still own the condo while you test the waters, so to speak, of living in PEI on your own.
