Hi Veronica, That didn't feel like a hijacking at all - what you wrote makes a lot of sense, actually - and I think the zen-like approach is certainly best - thanks for reminding me of that.
I'm still settling into the new place - and am mostly just glad that my sons seem okay with being here. Having the large park just two blocks away is a major plus - so too is living in a quiet area.
One major new frustration in my life is that I'm going to have to take my former landlords to small claims court. Turns out they are some pretty unethical people who not only didn't return my security deposit on time but then made over a dozen questionable deductions. Sad that people have to be that way - though it has given me the opportunity to discuss ethics and hypocrisy with my S11.
It's funny...I've had a few down days of late, and yet right now, as I'm writing, I just don't feel like saying much about it. Not much of an update, I suppose. I'm just going to keep doing what I can - accepting my reality - working hard not to resist it - and finding a way to make opportunity out of any negatives that stand in my way.
