Oh I have to admit a feeling of envy that you have this option. I'm living in a beautiful but hostile place, with a next door neighbor who built an enormous shed that blocks my sunlight and view of the mountains. People hate federal workers of which I was one until recently. I'm over it. But alas, I have to stick it out here and hope and work for change. When I gather up the energy to do so.
It was so good to read this. I was in my kitchen here in Iowa listening to a “live” of Bernie Sanders who is visiting the Midwest to bring awareness. For some reason again I thought “where is Jill?” because I hadn’t seen anything on social media for quite awhile. The ITI starts tomorrow and I even looked at the roster of walkers 😳. Then it dawned on me to check Substack!! Yay, you’re in Switzerland and having a peaceful and wonderful adventure.
If you get sent to a “farm” I’ll make sure to request the same farm.
I will check in with ITI from time to time to see how Lael is doing other than that I’ll not be following a tracker a few times per day. I’m so happy you both are enjoying winter conditions in a very peaceful place.
So, my Colorado son sold his house! He & his wife have put in notices to their work and will be relocating to Europe in June. This is getting real for me!!!
I hope you and Beat continue to find peace and joy daily! I hope you (especially) continue to have peace in your heart. My best wishes to you always!
PS . . . I find it interesting that I worry a bit and care for a young friend that I have never met.
Thank you, Linda. I appreciate you checking in. In November I decided to take a step back from social media, so I'm not "around" as much these days. Congrats to your son and daughter-in-law! That will be a grand new adventure.
It looks lovely AND you can get chicken & waffles? Yeah, it's hard for the US to compete with that. No matter where you wind up, I'll be looking forward to your posts & pics.
Sounds like you've reached a mountain meadow in your journey of Neuroplasticity....walk a new life and land? Regret is a shadowy force in a world of no absolutes!?

I feel this one... hard

As someone who is 75, I hope you go for it.

Lovely.
That place sounds amazing! That photo of the view...wow. I would want to leap too.
Not something we can do, for myriad reasons, but it's nice to read about possibilities and it looks like you had a wonderful trip!
Cordon sounds fantastique!
Thank you!
Very thought provoking and relatable.
Peace be with you folks

What an exciting plan! Thank you for sharing the Mary Oliver poem. It’s what I needed right now.

A Frisco brewery in the French Alps? That's a little nuts 😂

I too would move if I was going to wake up and see those views in the last photo.
