I like the idea of a button to let us choose. I am new and follow only like 6 people. I find new people by being able to see postings from others. Please don’t limit me to just a few new postings. I think new people would rather see a list of the new and latest that is going on rather than a blank screen. Thanks for the chance to offer up an opinion on such a big change.

I’ve been single since 2008. Thought we would get back together but it never happened. Still not divorced. Not sure what is keeping the marriage on paper but it is what it is. I realized 10 years ago with the kids grown with their own families to take care of, I am truly alone now. Also I realized I couldn’t afford to live on my retirement income and that began my journey to “figuring out what I’m going to do”. I am a year out from making the leap to the off-grid property permanently. And terrified that those who tell me I am crazy, are right. How am I going to do this alone? How am I going to accomplish ‘My Grand Plan’ alone? But every time I think about The Grand Plan the excitement of it all fires me up. I am resourceful, intelligent and not without skills. I can cook, can, bake, and garden with the best of them. But I’ve never built anything bigger than a birdhouse. Not like others who have posted here that at least have children to keep them motivated to get out of bed everyday and moving. I truly don’t have anyone else to share the burdens, work, thoughts, days and nights with. Maybe I am crazy to start this at 65? But what choice do I have but live under a bridge if I don’t.
I have created a web site and working on starting a YouTube channel. This post could be the subject of my second Blog…

When things get overwhelming for me I go down to the river to spend an hour or so just watching the water go by. The peace and quiet helps me put the world back in perspective.

So true. Plus the “science” can depend on the agenda of the current administration. This is a very scary thing.

Thank you for the encouragement.

Oh good! That’s the butter I’ve always bought.
