It is what it is is kind of the Buddhist credo. Emotional detachment! Which I've learned to be good at. About the only things I feel a strong emotional reaction to these days are my children.

But yes, I get the pushback. When I lost my own house——& not through anything as cataclysmic as fire——I was definitely not detached.

I don't really want to move again until I can move back to California. Which I'm working on in various sub rosa ways. We shall see!
