Eye of the storm
It appears that I may have reached the point through this whole process where everyone involved takes a moment to take a breath and think through events (both past and future) and comes to terms with what is best for everyone involved. This does not negate the fact that we will be moving to Arizona, but just some of the specifics of the move and some of the related issues with it.
This is going to be a tough week for me since I am both working through thoughts of my own, as well as waiting to hear from other people on what direction they would like everything to head. I know I am being overly cryptic, but it is so that everyone can have their own peace of mind and can have time to think through things for themselves. That doesn’t mean that anyone is “lost” or anything else quite so drastic, just time to process everything and make sure decisions are given proper considerations. I keep starting new lines in this post about my thoughts, but while that is sort of the point behind this blog, for now it’s best if I just let everyone have the time they need, and while we are working with a bit of a deadline, I think some basic decisions can be reached.
To help me get through the week (and because it is going to be VERY necessary for me to maintain even a bit of the schedule I have currently in my head) I will be immersing myself in work. I will be available to anyone and everyone who would like to (or needs to) speak with me and I can clock out for a bit if I’m working, wake up from sleep, or whatever is going on, I can interrupt it. So everyone please feel open to reach out to me in whatever method should you want me to hear your thoughts. As time for the move comes closer, I do feel apprehension, but it isn’t because I’m worried about how things will turn out, but due to the fact that I can see how much potential in every aspect of my life these next few months can bring to me and everyone around me.
Once again, I love all of you for the support you’ve given up until now. Except for a very small handful (VERY small) I have gotten the utmost of support on this decision and it makes it so much easier to work towards change when you realize everyone around is just rooting that the path you set yourself on works out for the best.

P.S. I just saw that a very good friend of mine (and bowling partner), Vanessa mentioned me in her blog so I only felt right to respond in kind. I know she can seem gruff and mean to some, but after so many years I know better and wish there was some way I could make these changes without losing the level of friendship I share with her and her husband. While I feel confident it won’t be a lost friendship, time and distance will change it. There aren’t many people that I will be sad to not see on a regular basis, but they are definitely high on the list of people that I will.
