Questioning
APRIL 15: I know I said that I would post a blog an average of once a day, but … “the best laid plans of mice and men”. LOL It’s not that I haven’t had time to post, but circumstances have changed. Maria is a wonderful woman but, like all of us, she has her…

Wanderlust
APRIL 11: As soon as I settle into the new apartment, I will see about doing some of the touristy things that most people come to Greece to do. Honestly, meeting people, and soaking in the energy that is Greece is what I came for. But, of course, I will act like a tourist some…

Guardian Angels
APRIL 10: Those of you who have read my book Create-A-Miracle PRN, and probably most of you who know me who haven’t read it, know that I believe in angels. There won’t be a photo with this blog page, but just a description of the new angel who has come into my life. (NOTE: I…

And the Sage Continues
APRIL 9: First, I want to say that buying women’s walking shoe sock sneakers for walking was the best thing I did for myself before leaving the U.S. They are SO comfortable, in spite of all the steps I’m putting on my Fitbit, and show absolutely no wear. As I write this I am feeling…

Stepping Out
APRIL 8: Slept late this morning, probably because I didn’t get to sleep until late, and ventured out on my first real “test” excursion. I had seen taxis yesterday in an area not far from the apartment and getting there involved passing several tavernas (street food). I opted again for a pastry and coffee; then…

Negatives vs Positives
APRIL 7: If anyone ever wants to come to Greece, I will be able to tell you everything that you need to know! I am so frustrated at this moment that I am near tears — and you know that’s not me. Walking this morning I did fine for a couple of blocks — until…

Settling In
APRIL 6: This post will be just a description of my trip getting here and CRASHING. LOL After two layovers totaling 6 hours of the entire trip, I was exhausted when I got to the airport in Athens — only to have my checked bag not show up on the carousel. I waited until all…

Divine Order
APRIL 2: I have been experiencing some undifferentiated anxiety this past week. Nothing that I could put my finger on. Today, two things happened to assure me that Divine Order is at work and I am being taken care of. A friend and I went to lunch. There was no parking space in the small…

Athens from the Air
MARCH 18: When I get to Greece, I don’t know what I am going to do other than what I have done all my life — go with the flow. The problem is that, the more I read, the more I realize that it may take a lifetime to explore everything that Greece has to…

Athens Dreaming
FEBRUARY 27, 2022: I had never considered Greece as a place I would like to visit — especially not with the idea of perhaps calling it home for retirement. But when an article, written by Lynn Roulo of International Living came across my desk, with a title of “Retire to Greece On $1,000 a Month”,…
