For the moment, don't take this blog title, Notes From New Haven, too literally. I'm still in Maine. The move happens the end of this month.
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the logistics of moving. And, I'm doing what I always do when I feel overwhelmed: I am procrastinating.
I planned to really, actually, finally start this weekend. However, it's Labor Day weekend, my last as a resident of Maine and the weather is fine. So yesterday, I walked Crescent Beach then sat in shade of the Lighthouse Museum at Spring Point reading and watching the activity on the water. Maine is truly a beautiful, wonderful place and I am one lucky woman to have lived here all these years!
Today I had to start up this blog. Now I have a few hours of work to do for my paying job. After that, I need to cook or I'll eat horribly all week.
Next weekend, I'll really, finally, actually start then. Really!

Why Move? Why Now? Why Blog?
Why Move?
- To be closer to most of my immediate family. I want to see them more frequently. I don't want it to require the level of planning and coordination it takes today.
- To shake things up and see what bubbles to the surface.
- Can't keep thinking about it forever. It's never going to get easier.
- There are people in my life, extended family and friends, I'll be with less frequently after the move. I want to stay connected.
- I want to document this change in my life. It's a big deal!
