It is hard. I always said we had to live in a place for a full year - all the seasons - for me to begin to feel at home. It does get better, but it's not easy. Sharing things we love with others is a great way to start. I'm glad you're beginning to feel at home in your new home.prsd4tim2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03897401557607479786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-59427548496777085812011-04-18T22:43:48.508-07:002011-04-18T22:43:48.508-07:00I second Nicci's comments.

I moved to Bako about 6 1/2 years ago and have been involved with a couple of groups, but always felt a little like an outsider. I don't feel that at all with this fantastic group of women. I greatly appreciate all of the friendship, inspiration and laughter that we're sharing. (Not to mention the brownies, muffins & coconut macaroons!)Mama Said Sewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401038484584970804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-83313747156578657442011-04-18T22:39:26.586-07:002011-04-18T22:39:26.586-07:00I've moved from Southern California where I ha...I've moved from Southern California where I have lived my whole life to Montana . . .

Know that your Miss Terri is quickly becoming near and dear to our hearts & that I am SO glad that she landed here and followed through with this dream to start a MQG in my hometown with the help of a couple of her blogfriends. As the result of their actions, we are ALL forming lots of new friendships and bonds and having tons of fun!<br />Thanks T. You're a peach! Happy you're here!<br />p.s. @ Lois, I loved your quote!Nicci Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002630780783305155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-21985768408599701962011-04-18T15:25:34.367-07:002011-04-18T15:25:34.367-07:00Very inspiring!

Even though I have moved a few times and I love it, I think it takes 1year before it feels like home and you are happy and comfortable. Every place you move to has things you like more and things you like less, you just have to focus on the positives. I am glad you are happy now and enjoying your new home. Every time you move you meet friends you would never have met otherwise.

We love you and I know that I'm happier knowing they are taking care of you. We're selling our house and although we aren't moving out of PDX, it is starting to set in that I'm in for a big change. Your words helped comfort me today.

It's one of the hardest things about leaving. And I haven't decided if I have the energy to start a new one in the new city. I probably will in time...but I have to scope out the quilting world there first.<br /><br />The upside is that they have much better quilting stores, so statistically speaking there is hope for finding modern quilters.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710673755073476003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-21272291598865883882011-04-18T07:33:11.485-07:002011-04-18T07:33:11.485-07:00Dee You are so right this applies in all aspects o...Dee You are so right this applies in all aspects of life not just moving.<br /><br />I am glad that I could share this with you all somedays I feel things get to personal and then your comments come rolling in that you have felt the same, or are going through the same.

I have missed them so much..and still do. But a couple of years ago, I started blogging and found a couple of great online groups with similar interests. And, now...largely due to blogging...I'm really beginning to feel "right" in my own skin again! So, I know just what you mean. But, you said it so much better than I ever could!<br />Kathy<br />www.shawkl.comShawklhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303018876968056901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389094566752193136.post-90636074781319580452011-04-18T05:56:05.504-07:002011-04-18T05:56:05.504-07:00"Sometimes a plant needs to be repotted to bl..."Sometimes a plant needs to be repotted to bloom." <br /><br />Funny you're posting this, because hubby and I were talking yesterday about our recent move.
