a synopsis of my absence.

i quit my job. i had issue with certain "job requirements" that arose. in honesty, it was a hard decision because of how financially successful the career had become, and how hard i knew it would be to find a job in the current housing market (to which my career is fairly tied to). though, i realized that i could not allow myself to compromise my convictions.

the engineering industry was not looking for new employees in my area. many of the companies i did and would have looked to work for were in the process of downsizing, or closing their doors for good.

it hit hard, because i had no real proverbial "plan B". i worked a couple/few months doing odd jobs for some of my web development clients.

this only slowed the point in which i had literally no money.

i decided we would move to a bigger city (tampa), closer to university (so that i may continue my education) and where the crippled industry was not affected as much.

i had only a few weeks from when we decided to move to find a new home, in an unfamiliar city. coordinate moving, and produce funds for down payments, cancellation fees, registration fees, et cetera.

we left our home synagogue and are now attending another. truth be told, this is not a loss. the head rabbi is the same, and much of the members have been friends with us for a couple of years.

i moderately have changed my trade, and have taken a noticeable pay cut, but i have a steady income. not quite near where i was financially, but probably more where others would expect me to be.

i am slowly getting my footing back, as well as still having to become familiar to a new city... and all that that entails.




i do not consider things worse, rather different... perhaps better.




“I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said,
than regretting not doing what my heart led me to
and wondering what life had been like if I'd just been myself.”

A birthday rhyme for you
on your special day :iconballoonplz:

Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is loving and giving.
Thursday's child works hard for a living,
Friday's child fears no foe.
Saturday's child has far to go.
And the child born on Sunday
is bonny and wise in every way.

Love that lives in the heart cannot be so easily terminated by time. Even though the encounter is brief its impression shall last a lifetime. No one can change the direction of love that lives in the heart. If you have loved that in itself is the answer.
