Re: The Fridge
Hi nanci,
Do you remember that book I believe it was in the 70's called "Passages". It was about all the various phases we go through as we age.
I feel that this whole retirement thing is a passage don't you? Each decade we have lived, has had things, attitudes and actions that were imperative to that age. As we edge toward retirement the passage seems scarier than some of the others have been.
Moving to TV requires enormous down sizing of possessions, if for no other reason than to not have to move it. We leave behind our families, kids & grandchildren, our old friends who love us no matter what and our careers. We must adjust to a new environment, new friends, new places to buy what we are used to buying, but the new place doesn't carry it, a retirement income, maybe only one car...everything that identifies us outwardly as us, we leave behind. It is frightening.
I don't think you are a diva, I think you are just trying to work through these fears.
