I told Uncle John and I told my parents and their reaction was confirmation enough that I did the right thing.  It is the thing that is needed right now.
My friends Jay and Sue are moving to Florida in about the same time period-we're all about the same age and we love to navel gaze and second guess ourselves.  And underlying all our angast is Is this the right decision?  Am I screwing up?
But I got some good thoughts on my 4 hour medidiation (drive along I 35 to Oklahoma City).  First a rebellious thought-So what if we screwed up?  It's our screw up and we'll fix it.  Then a flash of reality-this is just another in a series of "final answers".  We always think our current decision is going to be our last one-probably something we tell ourselves to keep us from freaking out completely.
This morning, whilst heating my burrito-came an even bigger insight.  For both of us, if Oklahoma and Florida are wrong, we wouldn't come back HERE.  Maybe that's how you know where home is-home is the place you'd go back to if your current location turned out to be a bust.
