I do not use the word "friend" loosely or casually and i greatly value the friendships I have as a result of that. :-)Shari Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14301342910803447836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933855269189267994.post-11672515025340262016-05-17T13:54:50.846+01:002016-05-17T13:54:50.846+01:00Hear, hear!

We introverts must always hasten to explain that we don't want to be alone ALL the time and that we love and value our friends. But, there. I'm sure I don't have to explain that to you.Laurie Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595023276463524101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933855269189267994.post-64507950051341990982016-05-17T09:35:15.691+01:002016-05-17T09:35:15.691+01:00This has been a more difficult transition than I h...This has been a more difficult transition than I have experienced in the past. Previous moves have either been because we wanted to go or we knew it was time to go. This time neither was true for me. I would have stayed in Killybegs. Because of that, the many hassles we encountered seemed that much more annoying and I was not coping as well as I usually do! With that said, I have been working on my attitude and trying to focus on what I like here. It is a lovely little town which I am sure I would have appreciated more from the start had the circumstances been different. I love the rocky shoreline and the traffic-free access to it. I love the way they have the shore walk and green as community focal points and have included lots of benches and tables so that people can enjoy both walking and just sitting quietly--or if they need to rest they can do that. Because of the benches and the paved footpath, people of all abilities can get out there and enjoy it. There are folks who walk for exercise, people who have a hard time walking, people pushing prams, elders, and youngsters on that path every day. I am thrilled to have a very local library branch just aroiund the corner! And, although I loved and will miss our little funky cottage in Killybegs, the apartment here is more comfortable in some ways, including the bedrooms and kitchen. The latter is very compact, but with plenty of counter space and shelving, so it is much easier and more pleasant to work in.<br /><br />Now that I am making sure to take the down time I need, I am feeling much more positive about everything.
