Things are progressing as far as buying the house where I grew up. We had the house appraised and now we are in the process of making a final decision. Our son is very interested in buying our house, the home where he grew up and I love that idea. It would make the move so much easier as we would not have to rush to get the house on the market and have strangers coming through So that would be plan A: We buy my parent's home, my son and daughter in law buy our home. I won't really have to say good-bye to any house. We will see how it all turns out.
Work has been dismal for me personally. I want to be happy there and I really, really try. But since they changed my job description, I feel like I am not being challenged in the ways that I enjoy. I get my work done, but feel so empty. Nothing I can do but deal with it every day the best I can, and still keep my eyes open to see if there is anything out there for me that would be a better fit.
I have made my list of what I want, I scour the job ads, and I try to stop the negative thinking in my head. You know, thoughts like: "Who will hire me at THIS AGE?", "There is NOTHING out there in this economy." Or, "Do I really want to change jobs at this point in my life and start ALL OVER again somewhere else?"
I really know how to give my self a pep talk talk, don't I??

What great news that is on the home front! Wish the job situation were as good. You're right about banishing the negative thinking. A job to your liking is out there -- and just like the serendipitous housing situation, you can make that happen, too. I just know it.
Wouldn't all of that house buying be the perfect solution? I hope it all works out just that way.
Keep your head up, you will find that perfect place for you..timing is EVERYTHING.
Hugs...lots of hugs. :)
What a great answer to your house question. Hope it works out. Sounds so good!
Sorry to hear about your work situation. Hope something better is around the corner for you.
The house swap is a great idea. I hope it works out the best way.
It's never too late to find a job that makes you happy. Keep trying. Make the most of what you have in the meantime, as hard as that is. One day at a time :)
