Looking Forward

A letter from a friend: she and her family moved to Seattle for graduate school. They left a small town along the Klamath River in northern California, promising that they would return.

Graduate school.  Her father's caregiving.  Two children through school.  Husband's job with Washington Department of Transportation.  Comfortable bungalow house.  And finally, they woke up and realized living in a city that is increasingly dense, conflicted, inflated isn't what they want.  Husband quit job.  She quit job.  They decided to move back to the small town on the Klamath River.  In the middle-of-nowhere.

In looking forward....sounds like a path we need to think about.

Murphy's Day.
