I do agree that the older one gets the less change appeals. But it is often at this age that is necessary - as in so in your case Heather.<br /><br />I also agree - as several of you say - that if some things remain constant (e.g. friendships, eating out etc.) then a thread of normality runs through, which does help considerably.<br /><br />Thanks for your sympathetic comments.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-38629178578144810902017-02-01T09:33:40.615-08:002017-02-01T09:33:40.615-08:00The older I get the less I am comfortable with cha...The older I get the less I am comfortable with change, but I also still get bored when there is no change going on. My husband hates change and finds it difficult to explore new restaurants or turn down an unknown road to see where it goes. He wasn't always like that though -- and sometimes I think just maybe he gets a little bored with everything the same all the time.The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-2100825197789327862017-02-01T02:57:45.782-08:002017-02-01T02:57:45.782-08:00I have never liked change but over the years my li...I have never liked change but over the years my life has seen many changes. I know how you feel Pat and I have surprised myself by contemplating a huge change. I am thinking of selling the house and moving into a small apartment in our little town. I don't drive and would be able to walk to shops, public hall, market, chemist, etc. It would give me greater independence and free my children from a few responsibilities. Since I have become a widow I seem to look at life quite differently, but am not going to rush into anything.<br />I hope that any changes you are facing will not be too challenging, and that the next band of weather wont be too challenging either!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-77922243421630315372017-01-31T23:24:54.935-08:002017-01-31T23:24:54.935-08:00As long as I can keep my own happy little bubble i...As long as I can keep my own happy little bubble intact with all its pleasant routine (and every now and then something exciting to break up the routine a bit), I am not averse to change. But I do know how it feels when it is all getting too much and happening too fast, out of my (presumed) control.<br />For instance, when I was separating from my first husband, I had been thinking about changing jobs for a while. But until my new life (with the man who was to become my second husband) had not settled into calmer waters, I was not ready to start looking for something else. I could not have handled big changes on the professional front as well as in my private life.<br /><br />Glad you got home safely and the fog cleared!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-68711688074889027212017-01-31T21:59:22.876-08:002017-01-31T21:59:22.876-08:00I hate change, I have my routines, it throws me ou...I hate change, I have my routines, it throws me out all day, probably an age thing.

Wednesday and Friday are my mornings for meeting up with my friends for coffee and a chat. We do this after our fitness class. On Mondays and Thursdays I have my bridge group to socialize with although that depends a lot on how our hands go! Weekends can be rather solitary but I do cherish that too.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224823051315463861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-2233467697184365372017-01-31T15:49:23.469-08:002017-01-31T15:49:23.469-08:00I'am the same way Pat... i like the 'statu...I'am the same way Pat... i like the 'status quo'... Just as you say.. changes unsettle me.. I just say ' i don't do change well'... and by now everyone knows that about me. i don't know i like everyone knowing that about me ... but at the same time its nice to not have to try to hide it.. which is what i did when i was younger... I'am what i'am and at almost 50 i don't think i'm changing.. But i get thru it.. maybe not as gracefully as someone who is better at accepting change but i do get thru it and life goes on and its not long before the sun comes out again..

I take to baking and making an extra effort to cook interesting meals of 'healthy foods' - I think it's a case of "well, I can't change the world, but I can make a good refuge here". Not thinking too far ahead is another strategy - I overthink and make myself even more agitated. Which doesn't help!
