If you keep your life changing nothing becomes normal.
On Saturday I went to a funeral reception for my other grandmother that passed on Halloween. It was 40 degrees Fahrenheit in the small city of Sierra Vista located south east of Tucson. There was snow on the mountains and it was raining. Everything was beautiful.
A few days prior I was discussing a urge to move to Sweden with my friend Audry and her friend Jose (I guess he could be her boyfriend but I don't think it's official). They both suggested that I get a job working for IKEA because IKEA believes strongly in transferring their employees across the country and around the world. They then told me that if I did get a job at IKEA I could possibly be transferred in as short as a year. Bringing me about nine years closer than I had previously had thought would be the time frame for moving there. I got really excited and pressed on with questions about it for the rest of the night.
Bring us back to Saturday, as I looked around and saw all the trees, the plants, the mountains and then my family. I wondered if I would be able to cope living in a completely different country/environment/culture without having my friends and family somewhere near. They are my biggest supporters, my reasons for living the way I do. After all, someone has to be there to be a positive in case of negatives. Right?
I guess the whole point of this entry is to tell you all how much I love and appreciate everyone of you.
