But I knew from taking the seminar that this is one of the rites of passage, and there was nothing I could do but ride the wave. We now live in a rural area. I remember sitting in Waterloo Station at rush hour one day last Autumn, taking note that I saw more people in thirty seconds than I would see here in a week. And, it's true, but this feels like the place that is right for us now. I sometimes don't know how to go about getting rooted.
Time takes care of that more than anything.
I am not just returning, I am creating a new phase of my life, our lives. This will set the pattern for a good fifteen years. It's an important period therefore, and I will not rush through it without thinking. When I feel lost, I go back to the plan. It anchors me, and it's tied intimately with why I wanted us to move home and take this next stage of life on now.
