Planning

| Seeing ahead |
A wise man once said that most people fall into their lives. They don't plan and carry out what they would like to do, they just fall into things through circumstances. Others plan and prepare for life. They know the kind of person they want to spend their life with, the kind of family, home or job they wish to have and make a concerted effort to follow through.
So what about you?
1. Did you plan to be where you are right now in life or did you just end up where you are? I have always been a planner.. I suppose it is the teacher in me. But Hubs , also, is quite the planner.. And his planning dictates everything for him, things can get a bit regimented, because I do like to just get a notion to go some place, but that very rarely happens!!
2. What plans did you make for your future and what plans do you have for the future now or are you just marking time? We planned to live comfortable lives..but that means living within our means.. especially, now that the world is crazy! But we planned what home improvement projects to do right after we retired and they are for the most part accomplished . I wish I could say we'd live here forever or you know, but without a bedroom on the lower level, that may be a pipe dream. Realty costs are ridiculous now so that is an unexpected development and we shut keep praying things work out for us!
3. Do you live where you want to live or would you have done things differently when planning where to live? We love our home. It is exactly what we love, except as I said, we really need a bedroom on the lower level. Our only option is to transform the den which isn't as large a a double bedroom. ... and there is no closet to speak of. So things would have to be radically changed!
4. What is planned for this coming Autumn?
- trips or plans with family or friends?
- it is our turn to celebrate with the kids in November for both holidays
- vacations?we've been invited and Id love to, but I doubt it
- holiday plans?Absolutely will celebrate with our kids
- Reading list? Im just not into reading these days, I do ahve a lot of books ready when I am!
Thank you for joining in to make Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 a success.
I was going to move in with my daughter at one point and she was going to put in a lift for the stairs for me if I did. But I find I do better if I just keep using them. I hope you find a solution to the bedroom. Costs are out of sight right now for sure.
ReplyDeleteHubs installed a good railing on our stairs . The original railing only went halfway up and the spindles around the staircase on the second level were there for me to grab a hold of as .I negotiated the stairs. Now there is a railing on the other side which helps so much for now. Plus I’m determined to keep losing weight. I’m 30 pounds down and a bit more mobile so I’m ok for now! But I really appreciate your comment and support!
DeleteI can imagine climbing stairs is challenging. Our home is one level, but we have to come up several stairs to get into our house. I keep saying we may need to add a ramp someday to make it easier to maneuver with a walker or wheelchair. I pray it doesn't come to that, but carrying groceries up the steps can be a challenge for both of us some days. I hope you can come up with a reasonable solution. I remember the days when I could run up and down the stairs, but that was a LONG time ago, when I was much younger and in better condition. I don't see those days coming back in this lifetime. Take care my friend and enjoy your autumn days, which hopefully are coming soon!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned the main floor bedroom...Karl and I actually looked for houses several years ago. I was so picky about houses. I wanted a single floor home because I was planning for my future self not being able to climb stairs. The bedroom in our current house is very big and I had a hard time wanting a home with a smaller bedroom. We found one perfect home, but it was too expensive really. It was worth it, just we could not afford it. I really think we will stay where we are at. Our house is almost paid for at this point. Loved your answers! Have a nice week. ♥
