I see your status line says "petting a kitty" and that's great--in the present." try not to project too far in the future, so you won't be seeing failure everywhere.
You made the move ... N. J. To Colorado! Hey, that's a biggie! Congratulations!! You got a job ... how many folks can't manage that these days?
Stay with how you're doing now. Your past is oven & done with & won't ever be again. Colorado, the West! The west has always been magic for me. New Mexico is where my soul lives--I can hardly wait to get back.
The whole world is changing. Keep putting one foot in front of another. You're a different person than you were in N.J. Your future isn't borrowed time, it's your time--no one else's.
Don't plan too far ahead. Watch for your opportunities and go with the best ones.
