Still, just thinking of you and glad to see that life is going on well and that despite the ups and downs, you have the same beautiful attitude you always do.Aishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756390674173743871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136056672660705454.post-69593306169889243102011-02-27T22:14:23.633-05:002011-02-27T22:14:23.633-05:00Have you ever noticed that when your difficult dec...Have you ever noticed that when your difficult decision is the right one, the stars seem to align and there are a million signs that you're exactly where you should be? I wish you luck and much help with all the repairing (house) and packing (belongings) and adoring (of Della). And I suspect that when you reach the other side of this decision, you'll be able to exhale and relax because it will become clear that you were meant to end up where you're headed now. <br /><br />I still hope we can meet in person again and rejoice in the gifts that 2010 gave us. I'm half-heartedly job-hunting, waiting for my own stars to align.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08006692086413417834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136056672660705454.post-83605212950831766702011-02-27T19:27:08.274-05:002011-02-27T19:27:08.274-05:00Change is as thrilling and exciting as it is nerve...Change is as thrilling and exciting as it is nerve-wracking. I've moved between continents and hemispheres, and can attest to starting a new life without a job in place. It can be done. It isn't easy, obviously, but it's exactly those challenges that bring tremendous opportunity and growth.<br /><br />I'm hoping that the planets are aligning for a reason. I mean, think about how perfect the timing is, really: new baby, new city/town, new home, Doug's job move to Maine, and hopefully a more fulfilling, meaningful job for you down the line, when the time is right. <br /><br />There must be a reason the universe is forcing you to jump. You can do it.What IF?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17296831848220411473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136056672660705454.post-73204499010292238492011-02-27T19:17:40.613-05:002011-02-27T19:17:40.613-05:00Best of luck with Doug's new job, and whatever...Best of luck with Doug's new job, and whatever happens with you job-wise, and the move, and the house sale.<br /><br />I wonder if we will be closer after your move or further apart?
