What moss do I want to gather?

Update...

Found a job, rented an apartment, bought a car... settled in... rolling away here now as I was back home.
When I first got here, I had taken the big steps (huge ones for me)... given up a good job, left friends and a life I knew (the only one I knew I guess... the last drastic change for me was moving out of my parents home for college!) to move here.

I arrived, in a state of paranoia, in such a rush to get things back to what they used to be that I never once stopped to think of this break from the usual as an opportunity ... to glance at the rear view mirror while cruising along to reflect on whether I really wanted my life to continue in the same way as before or if I should be changing lanes now.

I guess it's a catch 22 really, when you're speeding along in one routine existence, you normally don't think too much about it and then when you develop starting trouble ,all you can think of in the short term is how to get moving again, without really sparing a thought to whether you're in the right direction in the first place!

Not being well, I've been forced to take some time out from work these days and free from the anxiety of having not having options, I've been doing some soul searching and I'm surprising myself with what is important to me now ...
