So. I just got home. Drove to Pittsburgh Sunday and returned Monday. I did want to stay longer and I suppose I was surprised by how comfortable it felt. I forget so much yet it seems to all come back to me when I'm there. The process of revitalizing the city continues by leaps and bounds which is spectacular for a city that was one of the filthiest only a few decades ago. Of course I'd go back. And of course then in a year or two I'd want to be back here by the lake. Unless I live on the river; which I couldn't afford to. Unless I change something drastically. Which I have to do anyway as I am immensely unhappy. The difference this time is that I can see it all for what it is. No blame, fingerpointing or whining. I may not have the answers but I've accepted that the questions are no longer important if you only let them get in the way. So you go by your gut and you strive for a way to continually evolve.
I'll be around in a couple of days; have to unpack before bed. And unwind. I need some time to make sure I'm seeing what I think I see.

Get some rest and mull it over. Sounds good, though. You know, my partner was born in Pittsburgh, lo many decades ago. He remembers the black snow from the days of coalburning.
Continually evolving is what keeps us from stagnating. It's what keeps life interesting.
(It doesn't, however, explain the billions of people who seem quite happy to stay in one place their whole lives. If you figure that one out, let me know.)
