I recently moved to Raleigh, NC. This was my 8th move (9th if you count temporary housing) in 14 years. I'm averaging less than 2 years per residence. Does this make me unstable or adventurous? I like to think of myself as adventurous. When I was younger I was scared of so many things. Now I crave the unknown. This translates in many areas of my life. I almost never make the same meal twice unless it was really amazing. This really annoys my husband who thinks you should never try out a new recipe on company. I beg to differ. Of course there's the danger that it will be an utter failure - but there's also the chance that it will be amazing. Like my recent lemon pie.
That's how it is with moving, too. Sometimes it turns out to be a failure. Yet, more often than not, I find amazing new friends and learn a lot about myself along the way. Each place I've lived has become a part of who I am now - an ingredient in the recipe of my life, adding a depth of flavors. Oh there's lots to tell about all of those places... later. Here's the newest story to tell: an adventurous woman just bought a house and settled down. It's hard to imagine living in one place for so long. Will this make life stable or boring? I'm not sure; it's definately the unkown. But I can't imagine my house will ever be boring!
nice job. I cant wait for some of the ponderings to come.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about never making the same thing twice. I'm just like that and my husband doesn't like it either. He'd eat the same thing every week. B-o-r-i-n-g! :)
