Do you have any place where you can just be Free Normal and Happy?

Do you hear the real thing, @Shero, or do you listen to the youtube version? I lived right on the Massachusetts coast for years, a few feet away from the ocean, and loved going to sleep with the waves coming in. Best sound for me, the Ocean.
 
Don't know who's post you're addressing but security would be the last thing I'd ever be concerned about.
I personally live in a small town and I don't know ANYONE! There is not one person I can count on for anything.

Who's post mentioned security?
i don't really have anyone i can count on for anything either. so i totally get where your coming from there.
 
I find myself between two bad bookends, just wanted a break from it all, find myself stuck, by the lack of options and the challenges of being in a new decade of my life, harder than I expected.

Looking as though just dealing with the here and now is all I can do. Not yet art in stone. I'm Dealing with demolishing returns as I get older.

Such as can still walk, think, reason, drive make silly jokes, still be aware .

Thank you for letting me share
 
Chris21E, Thank you for sharing, and I'm so sorry. I watched my mother in this same situation, so I know I have to enjoy it while it lasts. And share anytime. That's what this forum is for.

Thank you...Not at the point of needing a person to dress or feed me, I cannot stand for long to cook, so order out so staying at the hotel can order food in

Diminishing returns and not out if options spell check is horrible second language person
 
Before all the silly times we were still younger, I stayed at the Sherman House in San Francisco CA.

It was beautiful, and I treated myself to a stay. A limousine took me there and I had a wonderful butler, it reminded me of castles, the canopy bed is many pillows.

Sorry, to say they have closed.

Went there to get ready for a difficult procedure that took place later an
eight-hour surgery. This reminds me s of that time, needed a driver for a long time afterward. My driver would always take me to Treasure Island, my choice always
 
I relate to this. I'm in California also. Never been to Yosemite or Lake Tahoe. Kind of pathetic. I'm from Santa Cruz originally but haven't seen the ocean in many years. I too worry about travel alone. Plus I have the cats. I'd love to have a place to get away to. There are places close by me but again, I often worry about being alone and out and about.
It is the realizing that one is a lot more vulnerable then before, difficult to put into words...We understand
 
I tend to seek out water: streams, rivers. There is a stream about 35 miles from here (I'm in the high desert) and I go there to sit on the rocks, which are ALIVE to me, and listen to the babbling of the water. It renews me.
My home is also a sanctuary for me. The ambiance is soft and peaceful.
Just so wonderful... Thank you



At home spending the day in my daughters old bedroom which I have turned into a she cave. I have everything in that room to make me happy and content.
In the summer I love to be in my garden early in the morning or just before dusk providing the neighbors and the bugs don't get to me.
On occasion we have been invited to travel with my daughter. The best times are spent sitting by a quiet stream listening to the water and birds.
So true
