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!
