I lost my job around this time last year. I gave myself three days to flip out and cry and be completely scared, and then I got down to the business of finding another job. As it turned out, I ended up in an incredible position that I am incredibly happy at. All that to say, it really helped to give myself a couple of days to really flip, then was able to focus. I'm glad you guys have been smart and have the resources to be okay for a bit. I'm sending you all of the good vibes I've got that Dan finds a wonderful position soon! Amy, downsizing does stink.

Stay calm and rational in the face of adversity, and it sounds like you two are keeping focused on the right things, rather than the wrong.

I'm amazed at your strength and am confident that you and your family will pull through this - it seems as if your husband has plenty of opportunities and you definitely have skills of your own! I look forward to hearing about the next chapter in your life, it's sure to be a positive one :-) Oh Amy :-( This exact scenario is what panics me whenever I let the possibility creep into my head, and here you are being so philosophical about it!
