Anyone else feel like their lives are circular? I feel like I'm always moving. I should be going forward, but somehow I end up back where I started. I begin to wonder why I moved at all, except then I realize that I've changed since the last time I was here, and maybe next time around, it will be a new and improved circle.
Our family may be headed for change again. Nathan hasn't made a decision yet. I'll keep you all posted. This time, I'm not stressed out about change. I'm very calm--nervous, but completely okay. Maybe that's a good sign.

My life ended back in Mattawa again . . . which I didn't expect when I left. And although the plan is to get our house built in Othello, I'm content for the time being in Mattawa (although I sure wish Costco/Winco/mall were closer!)
ReplyDeleteI feel that way about house work. I just get the house cleaned (or so I think) to realize I get to start all over again because little people have been "helping" along the way (emptying the laundry out of drawers that were just filled, pulling toilet paper off rolls that were just restocked, tromping dirt/mud onto newly swept and mopped floors...). I'm sure I will miss them when they are gone, though.
ReplyDeleteI feel for ya... I don't think I'm anywhere near mentally stable enough to even consider change right now. And as for circling, I never thought that we'd be back in AZ...never never never... but it's been alright, and I love being closer to my sisters.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both sister! Starting over seems to be the story of my life. 15 years down the road and where am I? Without my own home,Brian is just starting school, we have no money, only one car, we're just starting to make friends in this ward and all my belongings are used or broken. Yep, It's official, we're newly weds again. But your right, I'm in a very different place on the inside. I, like you, have had to learn to just go with the flow and have faith for the rest. I had a co worker say that Heavenly Father gave me an extra share of hard stuff because he knew I could take it. Somedays I sure wish he'd take it back though.
ReplyDeleteI feel for ya'. This topsy turvy lifestyle is for the birds.
