Nancy, thanks for another great post. My wife and I are much different in our decision making styles. I tend to throw myself into new experiences while she is thoughtful and likes to ponder a decision for a while. This has worked rather well for us with me introducing her to new things and she helping me examine all the angles. Our planned move to Portugal falls into the "don't postpone joy" mindset we have adopted after "launching" our two kids. I use the last set of italics because they are never truly out of our thoughts but we know that we have worked hard to set them on the right path and they will be fine. Now we are turning the page to begin a new chapter and the thought brings us much happiness.
Being Human is an excellent title to your latest blog post.
I appreciate thoughtful insights like you wrote about.
We are making a leap also as Canadians shortly.
Our decision to go/stay were on par. we had to delve deep and search our inner desires and turns out we have a nomadic soul (thankfully both of us do). So cheers to being human !
Just loved this and the Paradise post! Moving with kids and a pandemic is harder, but we did it - I think it all depends on the specific situation and how you as a family team frame joint desires and dreams. Thanks for the posts - they are just wonderful!!!
I have missed your last several posts and will be backtracking to catch up This one is excellent. I appreciate the depth you go to in your explorations. And now I will watch that video. 🙏🙏
Just have a general question. Since abortion rights are a highly fueled subject in the US, what is legal in Portugal? I know the country is primarily Catholic, so please enlighten us.
