Ever feel like you're one place but you'd really rather be someplace else? I'm at my job, a wonderful job with terrific colleagues and interesting issues. All good, right?
Yes, all good. Except I'm having trouble focusing on what's now. My thoughts keep drifting to December when I retire from my job and sometime after December, move back to Kansas City, my hometown.
So I think about, "Can I afford to buy a condo?" "How will I get a loan if I don't have a job?" "Will I get bored?" "Will I find a place or niche to fit in?" "Will I miss my life that I've lived for the past 20 years?"
Time will tell. For now, I guess I'll just have to take it "bird by bird," as Anne Lamott advises.
