i'm interested in a new position within my company and if i get it i will be based out of austin tx.

i'd still get to keep my current residence but will be required to fly to austin on a regular basis.. i'm excited about the job but not sure about the city.. anything good/interesting there for a possible future frequent visitor to enjoy?.

now guess when.. .

ok, the who is easy.

the when is not nailed down just yet.

Just so I don't have to hear it asked of me a million times. This marriage is called off. Sometimes things don't work as planned and this is one of them. So whatever the case may be, I thank all of you for your well wishes and I send my love to each of you and appreciate if nobody asks me to explain.

Where we go from here is a choice I leave to you

that is one of my favorite lines from the matrix.

the lines proceeding it are: .

fear.

You cannot undo the past and you cannot fix people. How many times must I learn this lesson? Salvation comes at your own hands and by your own choices. There is no personal Jesus to take on your sins. We nail our frailties onto our own cross made with our own sweat and we choose the whens and the ifs of impaling. "Where we go from here is a choice I leave to you." People must choose for themselves. Sure, a kick in the ass at an appropriate moment is a grand gift to give but a kick in the ass to someone not already moving will result in them falling flat on their face and then they'll blame you for their fall. That I can't wrap my mind about this is why I have nightmares. Fear is such an ugly demon. Fear of success, fear of that success leaving. Fear of not being helped, fear that once helped that the help will come at too steep a price, fear that the help will leave.

Right on the money. I was going to post a topic CHL, but you have covered it. And much better at the wording I might add! Mine was going to say something like, "This life sucks.....don't let anyone say different!" It sucks and I want off this planet.
