This entry is a little late... But here goes anyway... I was supposed to get a visitor this weekend. Did it work out as such? Of course not. Instead, plans changed and things were moved up to the weekend before that. During the course of the weekend, plans got a little fuzzy once again, and the weekend did not end until Thursday morning. Okay, okay, it turned into more of a week then a weekend! But it was a very insightful week...

  With this whole job situation, and my not being able to find a descent position in what is slowly creaping up to a year, I have been in a rather bad situation as far as knowing what the future will bring, and where I will be in a short period of time. As relocation is slowly becoming more and more of an option I have to look into, I have been facing issues such as what to do with the house, and leaving friends and family behind. But to where? Where the work is? To somewhere that I know someone? To one of the places I have been and liked - enough that I know I could live there at least for a while? What to do and where to go - issues I have been forced to consider lately, but not issues of great consequence. Well, sure, they are, but not the most. They deal with where I will live. Big, but not the most pressing issue to my general happiness. What I want out of life - is not a specific goal - no point where I must find myself at any particular point. But I do know what I want, and I know when I am on the right track towards getting there. It is something hard to explain, but you just feel it. I have been thinking a lot about some of these more pressing issues, and for a change see an opportunity rather than an emptiness in which I would have to deal with later. At this point, I haven't made any final decisions as to what will be the next step, but it is nice to be in this position rather than just work around an emptiness in the big puzzle. Now that I have something to work on, I can start to put the rest of the pieces of my life together - and what better time than when they are not so rigid. Okay, I am rambling on, need to get to sleep. It is ironic how things get so much more convoluted as the pieces come together... Does it ever end?! I certainly hope not!
