Occasionally I just have to pinch myself.
Life is pretty good & I’m certainly lucky to have that be the case.
And it hasn’t constantly been this way. I spent a lot of years in locations where I didn’t want to be. This was due to a work that I thought was our only path to happiness. Sure, I loved the zone controlled Heating & Air Conditioning in those corporate offices. And the money was genuinely top notch as well. There was also a perception of prestige but that ended up really being an illusion I finally saw through. But I was miserable & it finally came to a point that I had to pick life over work. I resituated to a section a region that I had constantly loved to visit & I went to work for myself. It’s been a change for sure. But I’m blissful & making a go of a supplier that I actually love. Plus, I never have to deal with a gas furnace, snow, ice or months long deep freezes. I traded all of that stuff in as well when I made the change to a life I wanted to live. I have to say that as far as the heating & cooling goes, I sure got the better end of the deal. I now have a heat pump that provides both our heating & cooling. However, where I live, the cooling is the biggest load for the heat pump. And yet, the air conditioning system I get is great. The Heating & Air Conditioning equipment I own has a certainly high SEER rating & it’s so efficient. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have to do our section when it comes to keeping the cooling costs manageable. But it sure beats the alternative.
