Musings - the methodical & logical approach

Musings about a return to Toronto. I need to figure out what I was expecting when I moved to Vancouver, and define my expectations

I follow my gut feeling, and my gut wants to live in Toronto.

Being a Project Manager, I have a very methodical approach to decision making. I need to define the goals and expectations for moving my life back to Toronto, and then dive into risk identification. What could possibly go wrong? Project selection mode, is this a project I am willing to undertake? What's the ROI?

After three years, I can admit that life in Vancouver is not the big dream I had imagined. I am cautious not to assign a Big Dream to life in Toronto - gotta be realistic.

Mildly scared of the "giving up" nature of leaving the west coast. Since I've started entertaining the idea of moving back, I look at Vancouver with disdain for the imperfect things, and with sadness at the things I've grown to love.

I love my apartment. I wake up and see snow covered mountains. It's great to have my own space though I know I can be happy in my own space wherever I go now. I don't want to take this for granted.

I expect to be using this blog to try to make sense of the spinning thoughts towards the decision to leave home to go home.
