You are so correct. When I was first married we moved away from Texas to Florida. I was telling my doctor about our move and she made this well known comment. Happiness is not anyplace, or with anyone. Happiness is found within yourself. If you plan to be happy, you will. If you plan to be unhappy, you will. Of course I was excited about moving to a beach city and we were very happy there. We have moved to several state in our 58 years together. It’s always an adjustment but I have always happy where ever we lived.

Love TV:smiley: I should add that yes, I miss my two sons and my gandchildren, BUT when we visit the kids are always busy and the grandchildren are gone most of the time. What on earth would we do back there?

Hate to say it but Florida is not really the south per se for the most part.. Some parts are but certainly not The Villages or the larger metro areas. Many parts of Florida are really just New York South. If you want to see the laid back south you need to go to the rural areas in NC, SC, GA, AL, TN, MS.

If you pick an abundance of sun as a "lifestyle"--I would pick Florida, for sure. Other than that--my heart is still in western New York.

I try not to use the LIE because of the trucks, but the Southern State to me is the worse when it comes to traffic. I went to Hawaii, and I could not believe the traffic there.

The Belt Parkway beats Southern State for traffic and it does it with narrower lanes and tighter curves in the road. I don't miss driving those parkways.
