I think it's something that's changing with the generations. I read a report recently that said that most young adults in the 70s and 80s who were surveyed believed that they'd be with their current company for the life of their career, or at least several years. Today, that's not the case - most people fully expect to move on from the company where they're working today. I think that people run the risk of standing still too long. If you're unhappy, it makes sense to work toward something better. But if your first was happy, good for her for staying in her house for 77 years! We're bombarded with people telling us that we have to move on, do better, be better, but if life is about finding happiness, sometimes it's okay to stop and realize that you're already happy!

Not many, really in the scheme of things. I do always marvel at how much stuff people take to college. In 1967 I went off to college with a footlocker. Not a trunk...a foot locker. Everything I owned, which was not a lot, was in the footlocker. I did not own a typewriter, a radio, tv, .... In those days, basically arrived at the dorm with our clothes and our brain!!!! Just recently I learned that a good friend had passed away. She was 89. What always amazed me about her was that she lived in the same home from age 12 until her death. Can you imagine 77 years in the same home? She was married in that home in Brookline, MA, in 1942, raised her three children in that home. Well, Alli, I enjoyed the photos of you and your sister and I enjoyed learning more about you. This post was a welcome diversion from our Tucson weekend. Judy Alli,
