Like our host's leafy suburban paradise PLUS the great lake in your backyard. Safer and more serene you will not find. Indeed, let the peace and calm sink in.Baruchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568908951400103413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-177417452484137462022-04-09T12:54:05.462-05:002022-04-09T12:54:05.462-05:00Yes, it's been a hellish several years.Yes, it's been a hellish several years.

I think the peace and calm of my new digs is just starting to sink in, and I will continue to structure my life in a way that makes sense as far as physical & psychological safety. I want to be close to my folks at this time, so won't be moving too far away just yet. The journey will continue to unfold and yes, I can see myself in a rural area one day, as long as it's also close to a cultural hub.Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948322374348472360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-68350595684324578202022-04-09T12:36:29.748-05:002022-04-09T12:36:29.748-05:00Caren, I'm well aware that you had many sound ...Caren, I'm well aware that you had many sound and valid reasons for leaving Austin, and I understood them and agreed with them. However, given the apparent intensity of your distress about the Plague, and about your city's steadily increasing crime and violence, are you now having doubts and misgivings about your return to Chicago?<br /> <br />Anxiety, alarm, agitation, and apprehension are the four horsemen who are trampling upon the serenity of your everyday existence. I find that sad. Perhaps you need to find a smaller, slower, safer place. It's a big country. Why stop at Wilmette? There's Wauconda. Or Wisconsin. I hear that Kenosha is a quiet and peaceful place.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-50466034399437890642022-04-09T10:13:09.335-05:002022-04-09T10:13:09.335-05:00Right now?

The other 10%? Pondering covid, Ukraine, the cancer that is Trump, the inevitability of suffering and the void that awaits us all.<br /><br />As the story of the mustard seed reminds us, suffering is inevitable. It's how we react to what life throws at us that matters. Keep bearing witness and keep the faith.Dennis Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936110563379328219noreply@blogger.com
