TV is heaven. Florida may not perfect, but no other state is. We are still working and LOVE it here. The lifestyle is very therapeutic. TV does not have traffic. It is not over crowded. It may not be the TV of 15 years ago but it still is super chill and relaxing here. Golf carting from Dabney to Spanish Springs and you see the beauty of TV and what we are truly blessed with. Just drive 45 minutes south to Orlando, 60 minutes west to Tampa or worse 3 hours to South Florida and you will see what traffic really means. You will appreciate the "niceness " of people here. Standard of living here is amazing.

For those feeling land locked. We joined the Adventure Boat Club on Lake Harris. It really is a game changer. All the lakes are beautiful. We go out once per weekend and love it. You don't even realize you are land locked. It also helps with some of the "heat" issues. Best of all, once we are done boating, drive right back to this amazing "Bubble", hop in our golf cart, ride down beautiful paths to one of the squares, have a drink and listen to some music. Seriously?? How people complain here is mind boggling to me. There is a saying I use for keeping things in perspective. "There is an a** for every seat." This may just not be the seat for some people. Good thing, this is a free country. I would move back to where you came from or try somewhere new. Life is too short to be miserable. Enjoy every day you have on this earth! That is why we chose to move here while still working. Every morning I wake up and give my thanks for the blessings we have been provided.

Hope everyone has a magical day.
Thanks
