Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I sold my house and bought a condo. That’s been a great move not only financially but I have made 4 really good friends in my building.
This reminded me of an article I read recently. I don't remember where I read the article, so cannot go back and re-evaluate it for credibility, but it made a lot of sense. The author was quoting the results of a survey, which indicated that when people made big changes in their lives, they nearly always ended up experiencing greater happiness, regardless of whether the change had been deemed fully successful or not. This makes a lot of sense to me. I think that the process of dealing with change helps us to feel more engaged and fully alive. In living through change, we often cast off old habits that, although they might have been very agreeable, had become perhaps a little too familiar and predictable. We also are forced to adapt, form new habits, and engage with new (to us) people.
Glad that your big change worked out well for you Teacher Terry!
