That move was 1 1/2 years ago and I am so glad I did it. That may be extreme for stress relief but it sure worked for me.
Life is definitely a whole different pace in rural communities. It took some getting used to (and I didn't live in a city the size of San Francisco), but I like it! Can't imagine moving back. Just going back to do some shopping and dealing with the traffic stresses me out!! Where's my FOOD?
