this week's winner
The referral winner for this week was my profile on Radio Paradise.
Followed by Aalln. And then NWG.
In the process of getting the news out about our move, I've noticed a couple of non-replies. I'm not perhaps the most attentive of friends, especially when I'm under a cloud of stress. Maybe I've stuck my foot deeply into my oral cavity and not realized it.
I dreamed last night that hobbitt and I finally moved into our new home. Except it wasn't the house we just bought - it was another, older, in-town house. I realized the moment we shut the door behind us that we'd made a terrible mistake. In the dream, I had always had misgivings, but let hobbitt drive the way, and I was almost panicky in my regret about that.
Waking set that all straight for me. hobbitt did drive the way to our buying this house, unlike the purchases of our first two homes, which I chose, I negotiated, I pushed for. This time it was all in his lap, and I stood back. And I did have some reservations about this house. But in the face of understanding what a complete life-change this is, all those reservations melted away. I'm excited about having less of everything and I wonder how far-reaching this will be. It's almost as though I can feel weight lifting off my shoulders.

you should be glad you have the opportunity to reexaming your life and get rid of the things that you don't need. we just moved, and it was so good to shed all of the unneccessary baggage i've been toting behind me for the latest installment of my life. every time i tossed something, i felt a pang, and a thrill. it's good to rezero every once in a while. and you've picked a wonderful place to land. that whole area of the olympics is so beautiful. you may have to adjust to the people, but then you will be amonst a whole load of recent immigrants to the area, so it's not like you are trying to break into a firmly established clique that requires 4 generations of history to be a part of.
the whole area is so dynamic, with untold opportunities to explore and get involved. perhaps we'll finally get to meet this summer.
In the next 6 months, I'll be preparing such a big move, I think. The prospect of shedding "things" is exciting. Really. I'm excited for you, too.
