My house has sold and I’m moving to the bay area. I’m not sure of where, but somehow, this move will work out. Davis, and my home, are too comfortable and completely uncomfortable. Life here has become too small, static and familiar. I want movement forward and I have the distinct feeling that can’t happen without stepping off the edge, or jumping without a parachute.
The house I live in was my parent’s home for years. It was a safe place to land and raise my kids at a time when we needed it. Now, with the two oldest boys gone, we have outgrown the need for this safe haven. I’m packing light and leaving behind things from my past—physically and metaphorically. Cheney is rolling with this as well as any 16-year-old can. He is more adaptable than he knows and change, exposure to something new, will be good for him.

BK--Well, I'm feeling selfish and hope it's somewhere closer on the Peninsula!
And what a great way to kick start your birthday, with completion of all your treatments!!
Hugs (wherever you are),

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this blog - and especially to do it with such passion and humor. I found you during a search for Mary Pare, an angel in my life. I just had my 3rd surgery yesterday, which was the 2nd with Dr. Guirguis, another one I adore. Just before surgery I learned I may have to go through the same ordeal you just went through, and I felt like I was reading my future. I wish you vibrant health and a long, glorious life. Love, Laurie (feel free to email me at doclaurie@doclaurie.com)
Hope this finds you well....I read your post and thought of the quote "Jump and the net will appear"....so how was the net?
