 Understand; this is not a complaint.

Wistfulness?

Yes.

My desire is to live in a cottage in the forest by the sea, surrounded by gardens and small wildlife and the sound of the ocean.

Until then, though, I adore my work life. I feel like I'm helping, contributing, making a difference.

It's very good.

This is the first time in my life I'm not looking after someone in some way.  I'm totally solitary for the first time since birth.  It's like breaking in a new pair of really fabulous shoes. 

It fucking rocks.
