yes it's scary. sometimes exciting but mostly scary. we want to be settled and no worry anymore, you know? we're getting older.

well if we moved back to Washington state, my sister is there, and my mom. But I couldn't live with my mom as she lives in a small town with no jobs. we may try to stay in Japan for awhile if we can find work - in a bigger city. it's a tough decision.

I like your morning ritual! we do need to stay positive and try to motivate ourselves any way we can - it's a hard world and we need to survive.

*hugs*

I completely understand. I think you just want what we all want, the basic need of security. It would be nice to settle down and move onward without worrying about the future!

That does sound like a horribly tough decision. I feel bad, as I would not want to be in your shoes...

I wish it worked all the time, my morning ritual... I forget about it sometimes... but I think it is best to way up feeling on top of the world than under it's feet. It always helps to feel good, because it brings in good... (Law OF Attraction, like I mentioned in one of the other comments)... Just an example, because it sounds so weird to just say good brings in good: When you smile at people, even strangers, you get more smiles back than if you were to just look blankly at them... :)I just thought of it that way so I had to share! :) :) :)

it would be sooooo nice to have an idea of where we will be in the future. I'm worried about moving back to the states with my cat again and all my things - I'm not even sure I can find a job. And of course living here has extra difficulties like the language and small apartments. But it will work out somehow. it always does:)

I hope things are going well with your future plans too - I know you would like to be settled and I know you miss Florida don't you?

it's so funny what you say about smiling at strangers. that's one thing I can't get used to in Japan - the people are just not smiley with strangers like they are in America. I miss that!

and you're right - good brings good. when I'm in a good mood at school, the kids react to that - just as they do when i'm in a bad mood or tired or sick. kids are so easily influenced.
and if my students are sweet to me, I am just happy all day!

*hugs*
