Just ran across an apropos quote from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Custom-House:
"Human nature will not flourish, any more than a potato, if it be planted and replanted, for too long a series of generations, in the same worn-out soil. My children have had other birthplaces, and, so far as their fortunes may be within my control, shall strike their roots into unaccustomed earth."
amen to that. i haven't moved with your frequency, but what i lack there i've made up in distance, so i can sympathize, but hopefully you find a place to move that's going to be a good change! ;)
