I dreamed last night that my wife had up and moved us during the night. Oddly this didn’t really disturb me, I just found myself curious about where we were. It left me thinking, as I awoke, if I were to move, where would I like to move to?
I have a great desire to be amongst family, I love all of my family and extended family, and there are none that I would not enjoy getting to spend more time with. This criteria does not truly help though as I have family in many different locations. If I include extended family, and I do, then I have family from Alaska in the North to Texas in the South, from Oregon in the West to Kentucky in the East; if I include my Step-Mother’s family, and I don’t see why I shouldn’t, it goes all the way to Florida. This doesn’t limit my options. On top of all that, I have a strong emotional connection to the islanders of Hawaii, and would be welcomed as family by a few of them.
Another thing to consider is the fact that I am disabled, and on a fixed income. I don’t want to stay that way, but the system is not designed to help you get ahead, it is only a safety net. I have mixed feelings about that, but that is a subject for another day. Because of my financial situation however, I find that my options are very limited, this is compounded by having kids still of school age, and the fact that unless something changes, we are likely to have our autistic boy with us for many years to come.
All in all, it was just a dream, a pleasant one to be sure, but a sleep fueled vision. Perhaps the day will come, till then I can keep on looking at listings on the internet.
