**Some day, I will look back on my life and know that I spent most of it not knowing if we would stay "here" (wherever "here" was at that moment) or move on to something better. It is a somewhat strange way to live. It is an exciting way to live. It is not how I intended to live. Moving can be addicting because it is exciting AND fear-inducing. I imagined myself as a one-city, feet-deep-in-the-garden kind of gal. Very strange but somewhat satisfying. How are you? Settled or moving on in your mind?
**People often say, "I know you are proud of your kids." I just told a friend...I don't feel much pride. I mostly feel relief. When they make good choices, I put my face to the Heavens and say a prayer of Thanksgiving that often goes like this: "Thank you dear God. I don't want to have slackers!". I think they are cool in spite of the many mistakes I have made.
**There is a job at the school I want for the fall. If you could keep this in your thoughts and prayers, I would really appreciate it.
**We have had a taste of spring this week. It feels so great.
Happy Wednesday to you and yours!

"settled or moving in your mind?"
This induces deep thoughts for me. Very interesting indeed. Moving is exciting and addicting. I would have to say that I am moving in my mind. Hard to imagine myself ever being settled... more deep thoughts for me ; )
I had a dream last night or the night before that you accepted a great job as a teacher/professor, but not in the traditional classroom sense. The job was in NY, I think??? Go figure... : )
Kate, laughed out loud at I have never lived (at least not since childhood)in one place/house for more than four years. For most of my 20s I moved every year. Now that we're happy here in MI I STILL look at my house as what can we do to get it ready to sell or what shouldn't we spend money on in it. I keep thinking Colorado is next where the hub of the company is - can't shake the feeling, but we're happy here and close to family. Maybe after a full year here those thoughts will leave my mind!! Or will they . . . .
