I'm so happy I posted this and feel much better today. It would be foolish to leave what took me this long to get without job security, health insurance, or the risk of only making 1/2 of what I make now, for the romantic notion that 12 months of sun will cure all emotional ills.
If daughter wants to take a chance she at least can come back home, but if I don't make it (jobwise) what do I have?
And, although I will miss GS terribly, with them in AZ and DS in VT I will be alone alone and maybe that's what I'm secretly wishing for - just some time to be with me.
I could always move later, or to a different place, and if by chance I lose my job this will come up again, but until then I just might stick around as I'm not confident enough to make a major life change on a whim.
But there is this ice storm they are talking about right now...
