It’s 1:13am and I awoke with the thoughts about moving from
my farm, and it makes me nervous.

On one
hand it will be a whole lot less work, and last summer when I would hop on the tractor to move a pile of whatever…. I
would pause and think – I am alone out here, is this really a good idea? So
back to the moving thoughts, am I nuts to sell? Maybe, but after fours years of
being on my own, the farming activity that happens all around me is still hard.
Maybe a change of scenery will be good for me.

I’ve never been one to let opportunities pass, my life motto has
been “I don’t want to live life with what
ifs”..... so I will forge ahead and make the plunge. Of course I do it in my usual fashion, so it is is more like “invade” and it’s
usually done with humor and gusto. My “what ifs” has always been a determining factor
in my work life, and sometimes the career choices, while not always financially
the best, always lead to experiences that I could draw from and helped me along
the way to the next adventure. So what
next? Who knows? All I know is that it
will be bittersweet if /when I do sell my farmhouse. Honestly, I think it would be
good for me mentally as this winter has been a struggle with all the snow and
feeling isolated. – guess I could sum it up as my winter of discontent. But
in a moment, I’m going to pull on winter gear and go out in the 11 degree night
to look at the stars and ask the universe to help guide me on the next new
adventure.
