Reason #364: On the Cusp?

Posted at August 13, 2010

Moving again. I believe I must have one of those multi-personality disorders. I seem to be a contradiction in terms. I enjoy the stability of routine, but I am also fond of risk and change. I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but every once and while veer off the warpath with an unhinged eat, drink and be merry attitude. And so here I sit on the cusp of another move. This will make number four in the last six years. This move is being driven more by the need to downsize economically than anything else. And boy do I hate moving. It is one of the most stressful experiences known to man…well, at least to this man. But move I will, this weekend to a house about a kilometer from the one I currently occupy! Go figure. Actually the move makes sense from an economic perspective, but logistically it seems kind of silly. All this moving and shaking has me thinking maybe something bigger is on the horizon. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the feeling lingers nonetheless. It seems like a move is a great time to shed a lot of unnecessary accumulation. Once you organize the resulting clutter, the heroic effort exerted tends to give one a new outlook. Maybe that is what I am feeling. After the dark cloud that has been hovering over me the last couple months, I could use a little inspirational daylight. Maybe this move will provide just that. Does anyone out there catch my drift? With Cash gone to the next life and my company severely downsized by downturn, it just seems natural that now is the time to move on. To what I am not exactly sure, but time has a way of revealing those things. One thing’s for certain, whatever it is, this blog will be here to tell about it. Wish me luck!
