Morning Pam -- Cool that you've got something going on for VDAY!

It occurred to me last night that I invalidated your "move away and start over" thoughts...sorry about that! I realized last night that instead of encouraging I had been discouraging! And THEN I remembered SO CLEARLY the period of time I had when I was VERY busy planning my "escape route" -- you know, the PLAN to rebuild my life elsewhere...

It made me feel better to:

Work out the finances of a D on paper
Look for houses I could afford on line www.realtor.com
Look for jobs that I thought I would LOVE in the areas that I had picked
ETC

Just having a backup plan -- knowing I did have choices -- helped me to feel better even if my plan couldn't map into the life that I HAD and WANTED (m, my current house, etc).

So...some of this speaks directly to addressing your fears...

What dreams do YOU have Pam?
