over the past couple of weeks we've begun telling people in our lives that we'll be moving away in september. the reactions we've gotten are wide ranging! most people are just surprised. i guess it is kind of out of left field... especially if you haven't spent time exploring the area with the intention of moving there like we have!
i think one of the things that seems daunting to those we tell is just how much goes into a change like that. packing, finding somewhere to live, getting jobs. but having tried on new towns before (oneonta, orlando, purchase, los angeles, brooklyn) my feeling is that logistics are just that - logistics. we'll figure those out. the real heart of what we're going to experience, though - the total lifestyle switch... that is what i keep thinking i'm perhaps supposed to be scared of, or at least nervous about. but i haven't felt an ounce of fright. i think that's because it is what feels right at this moment in time, and without having any doubts, there's nothing to really worry about i suppose.
meanwhile while i know i am capable of packing, my lack of motivation in the summer heat is kind of astounding. so here i sit, typing away...
