71 and alive - you must do what will make you happier - move to your new home, decorate it to suit you, make new friends, in time maybe even a special companion, and live your life. Travelling may offer you some exciting adventures and new experiences, and then having a new home to come back to would be wonderful. You will always have your memories and now you can go make some new ones. So many people get stuck because they are afraid of change, or worried about what others might think, but you sound like you are ready to face new challenges and this fresh start might be just right for you. I wish you well, hope you settle in quickly, get to visit some wonderful places, see things you've always wanted to, and enjoy it all. It is your life and you have every right to be happy in it - best wishes
