Thanks Bets - would love to have you come for a visit for sure!
Kat: Just as Bets said -"it's important to follow your heart". 10 days ago I had never even thought of doing this. It does seem impulsive I know. But many things had happened that had brought me to this place.
I retired suddenly & with No real plan. I miss my cottage despite the fact I live on the lake & love my home. I've been told recently that I should have some income in order to receive certain benefits but I can't go back to working defined hours year round. And some people have told me recently that I have too much time on my hands. The ad caught my attention "3 cottages for the price of 1" and interestingly it was exactly what I had sold my cottage for.
But whatever... Do your homework. Consider all scenarios. Research online - so much easier than the old days like when at 17 I decided I wanted to run a dance studio. No one explained to me how to do it but I figured it out. Slowly. I will figure this out but it sounds like I will learn it quickly!
I'm not afraid. I have a lot of faith in the future. I've learned - nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let's hope I'm still smiling a year from now.
