Sometimes the biggest experiences in life are the ones you never imagined yourself doing.
I think it was walk away from the area I spent my life and move to Florida. I kept the same job but I never expected to relocate area. for 51 years I lived in New Hampshire and to pack up everything, make a four car/truck caravan to a new state, get a new place and furnish it was well outside my comfort zone.
The retirement came 10 years later and I packed up and relocated to Brazil. I did not know the language, still not great. I had never lived in a big city never mind a foreign country and two of my grown kids stayed behind, they had lives in the states. It was the first time we had been separated like this.
If you would have asked me when I was younger I would never predict the first move, nobody in my family ever did that and if I was told about the second I would say you were nuts. These are two things I never thought would happen in my life but they did and they were great experiences.
What’s something you’ve done in your life that you never thought you could?
