Have you ever heard of Mover’s Remorse? Mover’s remorse is the sense of regret after having made a move. The move can be across town or thousands of miles away from where you were calling “home”. Because Al has been transferred through work many times, we have lived in Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia, Delaware and finally we retired in Florida. Between 6 and 9 months after moving, I usually had “mover’s remorse” set it for a short period of time. It was usually brought on by not finding just the right store to buy familiar items that I was able to purchase before. Or the fitness center we joined didn’t offer exactly the same programs. Or I was unable to volunteer in the same manner as I previously did. I have always been able to work through mover’s remorse through prayer and by adapting to the new area, making new friends and getting involved in new activities. Before I knew it, we were calling the new area “home”.
When we moved to Crestwood 1 ½ years ago, we both knew it was the right decision. We had prayed about it and God put everything in place for the move to happen. We love being near our children and grandchildren and being able to be involved in all their activities and get together for holidays and special events. But I am currently experiencing mover’s remorse. A little later than the usual 6-9 months, but remorse just the same. Don’t get me wrong – I know the move was the right one and we are exactly where God wants us and where we need to be. But this move has been the hardest of all the changes we have made. When we moved here we knew that we needed to be careful in not getting too committed in church activities for fear of what the future would bring for both Al and I due to his Alzheimer’s. For that reason, we have not made friends through church like we always have in the past. I don’t have a particular girlfriend who I can confide in or ask to pray with me (or just dump on if need be). And the phone doesn’t ring from a girlfriend asking me to listen to her problems. I know I will find that special friend in time, but for right now mover’s remorse has set in and that does not make me very happy.
Anyone out there who can relate to this??????
$13000 is phenominal!!!! Congrats on all the hard work put into this event~~
