I stopped at Whole Paycheck Whole Foods last night for some groceries, and swung through the card section to pick up a card for Greg's teacher. The card section was chock-full of positive affirmations.
One of them really jumped out at me:
Leap, and the net will appear.
~zen proverb
I am not really the kind of person who leaps without checking for the net. I am the kind of person who Yelps four recommendations for net makers, asks what kind of tensile strength the rope has, how long the net maker has been making nets, and how sturdy the edifice is to which the net will be attached.
Moving to California feels very much like leaping and hoping that a net will appear.
One more day.
Here's hoping all those Zen followers are right.

I'm so proud of you for using tensile strength in a sentence...
ReplyDeleteI think it will be awesome. It might take a while to adjust, but once you do, I think you will have fun in CA. And if you don't, there's nothing that says you have to live in CA for the rest of your life. But you know this! You don't need me to tell you. It is going ot be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI like that quote. I'm going to have to remember that one for future reference.
ReplyDeleteOne more day.
Great post, memorable quote!
ReplyDeleteHeh - I am exactly the same, tensile strength research and all. That being said, your net will appear.
