How far from your last home do you live? Why did you move and are you glad you did? 
Submitted by Matthew 25.

Just over 1400 miles. I moved to be with the man who is now my husband, and also to get out of the city I was living in, which although it was lovely, it was also very lonely. I had no family, no friends closer than the friends you keep at work, certainly no 'best' friends, and for romance only a very short-lived one with someone who wanted to keep me a secret from his friends, associates and family. I had moved to the last place I lived because of the job, but ... turns out that when the ONLY thing you've got going for you is more money, it really isn't much at all. A good-paying job does not equal good friends or deep, committed relationships.

So in that regard, yes, I'm glad I moved. On the other hand I'm now even further away from my family than I was at the last place, too far for a day drive by car. And that makes me not glad I moved. But I have many good friends here, a man who loves me more than anything, no matter what, and a job that although it didn't start out too well, ultimately gave me the chance to spread my wings and expand my horizons, and make a difference in people's lives. What more could a person ask for?
