Living on an island

of quiet life stimulates the creative mind. ~Albert Einstein

Hard decision for you and not to be taken lightly either. It sounds wonderful tho, and if thats where your heart lies ... but then again, once you leave Oslo would it be hard to get back in again?

My sister had a beautiful house overlooking a bay in Sydney's Harbour. A wonderful view, you could see the Harbour Bridge from her balcony and of course very close to the city. She recently sold up and moved into the country, with her partner, on some acres. They love the solitude, the night sky, the absence of crowds and stress.

You have interests in craft and things of that nature....so hard to know, eh

Think on it ... good luck !

Oslo will always be there, that's how I think. I have moved to Oslo twice in my life, I can always move here a third time, if things get desperate. Which I hope they won't.
But it'a also my kids, I miss my son, and he's up north. Amanda is a little ambivalent on the question, she likes it up there, but here as well. Terese will stay here, or wherever she can get a job AND study criminology at the same time. Thinking of staying in the same job any longer makes me want to kill myself. Living like I do, not able to afford any FUN because it's so expensive here, is also a horrid thought. Damn it I want fun AND comfort, and nature and craft. And art...

I guess I have already decided. And the answer to the question can't possibly be answered until I'm there and experience it. Like some wise woman said: What if you learn to stop the DRAMAS and started to TRUST the flow of life and the goodness of spirit? What if you began to EXPECT the BEST from ANY situation?
Probably better questions than I asked.
