After spending 5 days and 4 nights at the ocean last weekend, I came to realize something. Cities are, in fact, toxic things. I used to LOVE the city, and actually felt more at home in NYC than any other city Ive been in (back when I visited it briefly in 2006)... But when you actually WORK in the city? It changes you. Even when youre happy, youre never truly de-clenched... My son told me on the day that I came home, that he had never in his life seen me so laid back and pleasant. And in fact, on my very first errand to the store after my return, I noticed right away that my jaw began clenching...for the first time in a week....Im usually clenching my jaw so often, that it aches at the end of every day. Thats when it hit me....I really cant do this any more. I mean, some people can survive the grind as long as they re-charge from time to time, but coming back from a nearly perfect 5 days where Ive never felt better in my whole life, and then practically feeling the electricity of the stress in the air all around me just as I wait in 3-car-deep line in a sea of cars waiting for gas at Costco...it just made me realize that I cant stand it any more. Sally and I dont know if it will be possible...and were praying about it constantly, but we both feel the same about this....and pretty strongly. We are ready to do just about anything possible to downsize, simplify, decompress, and move to the ocean. If Jehovah is willing...Moclips may grow by a population of 4 in the coming months.
