Hi Deb,

I sort of did the same thing as you. I moved back to my
hometown in Pa after living in Delaware for 30 years.
My kids and my friends are there but I was getting so
sick from the humid summers and living so close to
chicken farms on one end of the state and chemical
plants on the other. I wanted to come back to the
mountains to get healthy again, I suppose that was
selfish of me but my kids can come and visit, just like
I did when my parents were here. I'm glad I did because
I have been here for my mother, she is 94 and not well
so I'm glad I can be there for her.

Congradulations on your move, I hope all goes well for you.
If I ever did decide to move back I would want to be close
to the water, the salty air is very healing and rejuvenating.

thank you judy----geez--i grew up on a chicken farm and michigan is very humid--i was asked once how i thought i could live on an island if i couldnt take the humid weather in michigan--but its different here and you are right--the ocean air is very healing and watching the ocean is so soothing--its so majestic and carefree--i walk away feeling comforted--i know i made the right decision and if it was a selfish decision, then it was high time i made a selfish decision for me--i raised my kids pretty much alone and my life was them and finally i have time for me---i never felt good in michigan and i had headaches everyday of my life--the headaches have quit here, i am sleeping nights again, i havent done that in years--i miss my kids and grandkids and the rest of my family and friends, but you are right--they can visit and what a place to visit--i am truly happy here, happier then i have ever been--it's all good----------deb
