I wonder how much is missing it, and how much is just disappointment that you came home and found things no better than before. Perhaps when you are more settled, and maybe when you find that dream job, you'll feel more yourself. I hope so. You are such a special young woman,and while I'd love it if we were neighbors again, I hope things work out for you there.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176793604414392644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728466921999612186.post-56130357698248195412008-04-18T21:37:00.000+09:302008-04-18T21:37:00.000+09:30Oh I can hear those cogs turning, turning... What ...Oh I can hear those cogs turning, turning... What I wouldn't give to be able to meet up over a coffee and have a damn good long chat. Some of what you describe resonates with me - as you can imagine (the restlessness about work for one... and albeit in a slightly different way, the sadness that the extended family isn't what you wish or need it to be..) And you have it all compounded a hundred times over by the complicated process of transplanting yourself - again. <BR/>Like me you recognise how much those endorphins could help your frame of mind - just why is it so bloody hard ?<BR/>And with your other half going away for 3 weeks... I know that feeling also - all too well. Yell out (email me.. do you have skype?) if you need to scream...Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906909599853950560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728466921999612186.post-80078511940741459762008-04-18T10:26:00.000+09:302008-04-18T10:26:00.000+09:30Ha Ha Monkey.

I actually know several grumpy old men like that, and some of them are in my extended family.<BR/><BR/>It is great that you had that connection with Canada. I know the unsettled feeling of not really being "home" - I have had it on many occasions. On pollyanna days, I find how to make where I am such, on dark days nowhere can I sense the pull of where I want to be.<BR/><BR/>I understand the working one - it is not so much the "having a job" but also "having a purpose" - and while being a SAHM is a very admirable purpose indeed, there are many goals out there unscored.<BR/><BR/>Good luck in finding it all wriggle down into place - and lots of hugs.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.com
