I guess that's they way we all feel about moving from our comfort zones! I think I’m just going to point my readers here, you summed up exactly what I’m feeling about my upcoming move.

Before I moved for my postdoc, I somehow had never thought that I would perceive any change as negative, and so that was a big disappointment when I got here. The longer I am here, the more I see the positive. It is still very difficult at times, and I still want to crawl back to my old lab where I was comfortable and loved. I want to buy inexpensive flowers, ride my bike to school, and walk regularly on the beach. I've also come to admit that maybe this place isn't better, maybe the other place was more my cup of tea... but this is my life now, and there is good here, too. Perhaps we can be happy wherever we go. :o) I am glad for you that you know to expect ‘negative’ change going into things.
