One Year at The Redwoods

Today marks the one year anniversary of my move to The Redwoods.  

My decision to move here came rather quickly due to the fact that a large building project was going to start right outside of my bedroom window in my Greenbrae apartment.

Normally, one has to wait for several years to get a spot in this Senior Community.

I decided to come to The Redwoods during the recession. People who were on the top of the waiting list could not sell their homes and so there were actually 3 apartments available when I went looking in January of 2011.

There was some concern among my friends that I might be making this move too soon. 

It is true that I am at the younger end of the age range here. 

However, this has not been an issue  for me. 

I continue to live a full life outside of The Redwoods. 

I still have my Marin friends, family and activities.

AND, it is comforting to know that when I am no longer driving, there will be plenty to keep me busy and happy here on campus, as well as wonderful free transportation that is offered daily.

So, I feel very blessed to be here and my journal page lists some of these blessings!
