The loss of my two bands this year (I am Fool is temporary, and is still occasionally rehearsing) has had a big impact on my thinking about staying in Syracuse.
I think it is very likely I will dedicate 2020 to getting ready to start my life as an expat.
I am quite excited by my Winter travel plans - I think Cuenca (Ecuador) may be 'the' place, although the remaining places on my list (Medellin, Colombia and Lake Chapala, Mexico) are still quite attractive and demand to be checked out. No final decision has been made, and none may ever be made - I may adopt a permanent traveler lifestyle, spending three months at a time in a place, then moving on.
I find it a little weird that I feel this way, but, to be honest, I've begun to hear the clock ticking. I will turn seventy this January (I'll be in Los Angeles for the occasion) and that seems a bit like a wakeup call to get a move on with the next stage.
I've also become more aware of some of the physical and cognitive changes aging is bringing on. I am more forgetful (although nothing worrisome, just more often than I'm used to) these days. Also, I have more physical pain, as my arthritis (knees and hands) shows itself more often.
Another thing is that I'm watching more TV, in fact, I'm watching a lot of TV, and that is a warning sign (to me). I associate TV-watching with depression. Since I watch in bed (mostly) on my computer, it tends to keep me in bed even longer, and, with all the bummer stuff I've been dealing with since I got home from Chiang Mai in February (not that there haven't been a lot of good things happening, too), I've found myself being unusually inefficient at taking care of regular business. Lots of procrastination, too.
So, since my international travel has been a highlight, it is natural for me to think more about it than usual.
It's a great 'problem' to have, something to look forward to.
I'm grateful for my life.
