It is comforting to imagine that my medical needs could be met in a way that would protect my end of life wishes. More immediately though I am drawn to this living arrangement by a strong desire for community. I have a perfectly fine home in central Arcata but miss the easy casual social interactions I experienced living in cohousing.
I am excited about living in an environment where have friends to share cooking interesting food from our garden,tea or wine in a garden I do not maintain, good conversation, and a game of cards just sounds like more fun than living alone.
