Florida Retirement Living -- summer weather all year long, sunshine all year long, sounds like a little bit of heaven on earth to me! I guess that's why so many retirees live in Florida!
In our retirement years, warm weather climates work so well for us. The sunshine alone does wonders for our mental attitudes, and the warmth of every day helps with the normal aches and pains of everyday life.
My parents have a Sunshine Voice when they call home from a Sunshine climate in the winter. I comment on it all the time. The sunshine just naturally gives them happiness and a little more lift to their walk! It's a good thing (as Martha says)...
Please consider sharing your thoughts on your experiences and life in Florida. Looking for your two cents on Florida after Retirement.
- Where did you move from?
- Where in FL are you located?
- Where are you live? home, condo, apartment?
- Why did you move to Florida?
- What do you love about Florida?
- Any negatives?
- What do you do all day? Describe a typical day.
I hope your comments will help others with the decision on Moving to Florida, or not! Thanks!
