Moving on

My solution for dealing with stress and stressors in life has always been to move. Yes, to physically pick up and leave one area and travel to another area. This was facilitated by the fact that my husband was in the military, so we moved a lot. Now he is retired and we have been in the same place for 9 years and I am thinking it is time to move, and move on. It is such a mixed deal for me because on the one hand I really love what I do. On the other hand there are things about my situation that drive me crazy. My ideal solution would be to move someplace new and reinvent myself thus leaving all my stress behind and of course taking on a bunch of new stress in the process. I'm not sure that this is a sane idea, nor one that I'll act on, but it sure looks attractive right now. Of course, it would mean leaving the house we built and the yard we are working on. It would also mean we had to pick a new place to live and I would have to find a new job. I'm pretty sure that there are not many jobs as good as the one I have right now, even if it frustrates the heck out of me sometimes. I guess I better just stay put, but the inclination to move is there and strong.
