reaching fork in road of life

oh boy do I know what you are talking about...mine right now feels like a holding pattern or treading water. I'm weighing all my options and trying to figure out what to do next.

I sometimes wish I had that 'stable' life, you know, where you grew up and still live in the same town, same relationship since high school, etc. Does that happen anymore?? I just feel like a gypsy and I got stuff strewn from coast to coast!

I just do alot of reading and just try and piece together some signs on where I should be and what I should be doing next. It ain't easy!

SS - sending you butterflies that will help you see exactly the right decision, and help you keep your heart open to the posibilities!

TDG - yes, I *am* one of those people. DH and I have been together since I was in 11th grade - we'll celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary this fall. We both feel so fortunate to have each other, and to have wanted change in our lives at the same time.

Yes, we have made some major changes lately. Two years ago, moved from the town I grew up in to this wonderful small city in the sunny Okanagan. In that time we've gone from both being dependent on the forest industry, to both working for high tech firms. We've morphed from mountain bikers to road bikers. We've gotten happier, fitter, more in touch with each other, met wonderful people, had more fun - it goes on and on.

With my move from the company that I'd been with for 12 years, and which gave me the safety net to move here 2 years ago, to the up and coming new company that is based on quantum technology, it feels like someone took the lid off my genie bottle! Anything can happen and I wouldn't put bets on any particular direction for my future. Here, somewhere else, doing whatever, it's all good!

Be open, trust yourself, trust your instincts, trust the universe, visualize butterflies, have fun. Each of us is exactly where we need to be right now.

KG - do you have a new position to go to? Will you be close enough to ride to your job still?

Hugs and butterflies,

I shouldn't have any trouble getting A job, but finding a GOOD job can be tougher. At this point, I'll be applying to the new school that is taking half our students. I do a lot of stuff for our school so I have a pretty decent resume and I think I have a good shot at being able to move to the new school. But change is always hard and it will be DH's last year of teaching and we really enjoy teaching together. It would have been nice to have been together for one last year. I haven't been bumped YET tho - won't until next spring, but there are at least 8 people ahead of my on the seniority list so even if there are some voluntary moves and retirements, it's not likely.
