So, as you probably know from my posts, my mom has passed almost 6 months ago. I am feeling a whole lot better. My goal for the last few years has been to move out of state back to where I lived as a boy, as I love the area and always felt it was home. I live in the Chicago area, but never felt it was home. Been here since 1973. My career was here. So all I have been thinking of is moving back "home". Today, I had doubts arise about moving. The winters are brutal where I want to move. Not sure if I want to go through winters that difficult. Then I thought, well, the political climate is bad, world situation is crazy bad, getting up and moving is expensive, etc, etc, etc. So today I thought maybe I am better off staying put, not moving. So I have this inward argument going on, should I or shouldnt move!!!!! I am afraid to move on one hand, the unknown factors. On the other hand, I really do want to move. So how do I solve this dilema? Thanks.
I enjoy going to the real estate sites and looking at houses all over the country and imagining myself living there. Maybe do a bit of that for where you're thinking of moving? Start reading the online newspaper about where you want to move. Start looking at events in the area. Just see if it feels like home.
take time to make your decision don't rush into anything. you sound as if you are established in life where you are right now and to sell and pick up and go is great but if your not not happy where you have gone its a hell of a lot harder to start all over again.........I am a firm believer in the pros and cons list and also a couple week visit to the promise land your thinking about going to because maybe its not really like you remember it.....good luck with what ever you decide...........
