Gap Year Theory. By blunt force.   2015 – 2017  –

This is a forced theory, I am calling it Gap Years for entertainment purposes and good old rationalization.

1. It always starts with some type of trauma.
2. The trauma needs to be of the over whelming type, ie. health, children, spouse, family or work.
3. It is in that order.
4. This is a first world issue, you have to be able to afford it.
5. You take great measure of the important parts of your life.
6. You take even more measures with the unimportant parts of your life.
7. If you do this right, you quickly determine everything is important at one time or another.
8. You also determine that life is really “seasonal”.
9. You also determine that while most people care on some level, they only care so much.
10. Your seasons were all necessary, wanted and loved.
11. Some more than others
12. Back to the trauma.  What is truama for some is really opportunity for others.
13. Let’s make this about Charlie.  He is now known also as “baby” or Prince Charles.  (it is not about him)

Our Gap Theories

1. Trauma – all children launched … one person happy, (the stronger one).   The other person says, wait a minute, (weak one)
2. Trauma – Economy Tanks.
3. Trauma – Health issue.
4. We adjust to number 1.
5. We survive number 2 and come out ahead.
6. We survive number 3 with a fair amount of effort and patience.
7. Howards effort and Shelleys effort and a lot of her patience.
8. We lost.
9. We scrambled through.
10. We won.
11. We recalibrated 10 times.
12. We re-designed.
13. Re-adjusted.
14. We Moved,  2 different places, then went home and built a new house.
15. The End.
