RE: 2018-03-05: AUS->DFW, Cautionary Tales
Love this! Here are my thoughts, because they jumped all over the place during your post:
- My brother and family just moved to Texas and my husband and I spent 3 weeks in Frisco, just outside of Dallas, at their place before moving to Mexico. We loved it...and the sunsets are beautiful!
- I'm so glad we took responsibility for our life together and moved from Canada to Mexico! Brian has cancer, but is still alive and we get to spend our time together, simply being. We are fortunate that our kids are in their early 20's and encouraged our move :) Although I miss them terribly!
- I was married before for 24 years where I'd rather spend time with a 'forced' friend than my husband. I don't think I need to expand on that one ;)
- I think most people focus way too much energy entirely on the things that, in the end, don't really matter. You'll never be on your death bed wishing you would have worked more or bought more things for your house
Wow, that turned out longer than expected;) Loved your thoughts today :) Cheers!
You should copy-paste this into a separate post so that I can upvote it again!
Thank you very much for sharing this. I feel like these moments of deep understanding in life come and go as we push through the daily grind, and then it's a little too late to benefit from the wisdom.
I'm pretty sure I'm undergoing a slow, steady transition now where the "rat race" is looking more and more absurd. One of these days I'll wake up and realize that I have enough and decide that I've had enough. It'll be a glorious day, the first day of the rest of my life.
Aww thank you so much for that...the sentiment I mean, although the upvote is very kind as well!
The day you finally get your little hamster claws around the cage door and jump off that wheel...it will be a memorable one! ;)
...and I can't really remember the day I sat back and thought, "this is all really stupid", but I do remember the feeling of when I figured it out and so much of every day life seemed like nonsense; and when talking with once-like-minded-people/co-workers, pure drivel.
Thanks again!
