held longer

Sometimes this is what it feels like at my house.
Our notes are held longer.
Worry, fear and anxiety held by some of us.
Patience, practicality, and confidence held by others.
We pause indefinitely, thinking, waiting - for better or worse.

That's what it feels like right now and why I've sounded stressed.
But, in fact, we are quite well.
And nothing is really worse than it was before this post.
We are still waiting on lots of things.
K has finally had a conversation with the fellow he's been needing to talk to and that particular position will take more time.

What to do while we figure it out?
Talk to tons of people -
AND GO TO ITALY AND HAVE A NICE TIME.

Thanks for all of your good wishes - they are truly appreciated.

You never know what's next, and that's not always bad.
Optimism. Is. Key.
