Advice from family and friends on future accommodation could start to become more prolific as a few silver hairs appear in the ears as well as on the head. This is a season that will require an enormous amount of restraint, good manners and prevailing wisdom when dealing with all. Some of the suggestions put forth could be positively terrifying, infuriating and unnecessary. The cost of houses, apartments and bush is reaching a stage where only the more mature and wise can afford a purchase. The reasons for some of the dialogue is obvious. The primary reason for maintaining a long term residence is to provide inexpensive, comfortable, familiar shelter with the array of necessary and known focus areas. The ability to move into the next phase without the challenges of getting to know a new set of associates' likes and dislikes, identifying habits and unusual menus is essential. Now is the time to make the path plain with words of wisdom. Don't be uncertain, fearful or concerned in any dialogue with anyone. The chosen task will come with some challenges but can be achieved with total commitment and a new lifestyle planning. Maintenance of the familiar provides a background that will reduce unnecessary stress and allow maximum time with the new task. Copyright 2006 Patricia Little |
