Subject: Recharge, refocused, and facing my biggest challenge

Hi all,
what a weekend it was, thought things through and have come to the decision to attempt a new life in South Carolina, will be near Scott and Sandy. This has been the biggest, most difficult decision I've ever had to make, dealing with support from many (thank you sincerely) and others who say I'm taking the biggest risk of my life moving that far away, selling most of what I have, and pulling up stakes in this fashion. It's very difficult to block out that kind of support
in the respect of not letting it make me trigger into letting fear change my mind.
Yes, it's not easy, but what big choices in life are?
The possible situation in Topeka (roommate wise) is too uncertain, and change has been calling me for some time, I feel I need at this point in my life to take one big step out of this rut I've been in and do something I've never done before, take a chance.
I've weight pros and cons, made lists, talked, talked, and talked with people who've relocated and found new jobs, it's something I didn't decide on over night, for the last year, I've been looking into possibilities and such.
So, now I've entered my resume online, e-mailed the South Carolina human resources director, and I'm getting ready to break it to the boss/personnel manager at work tomorrow (wish me luck here) that I'm wanting to move soon and will do so with proper notice when I've found a job. The hard part here is job/reference calls coming in and how they'll be handled. There's a lot of drama at work and many leaving, I will face the "you're thinking of yourself" routine and some angry and sad reactions.
I feel at this point in my life my spirit really died in some ways, but I had an emotional/psychological/decision making breakthrough this weekend and it was triggered by my making a DECISION finally to try this.
By summer's end, I hope to be in South Carolina starting a new life with a new job (this will be the ultimate challenge-finding a suitable job for me, talk about anxiety, hard to believe I'm now in the job market-very frightening) being nearer Scott and Sandy so we can share new adventures and share them all with you.
Thanks for listening, keep me in your prayers and I will do the same for you as I wish you all peace, help me keep the straight and narrow in spite of those telling me what I'm doing is potentially disasterous and wrong.
All my best,
Bill
