Probably all has been said to you already about your decision to move on - like closing of doors and opening of windows etc. How scary and exciting all at the same time (from one who has done this quite a bit!!). I shall be watching and bearing witness and wishing you well, well, well as I hold you in my thoughts.<br />Much love and many smiles,<br />TamarTamarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044002688998890961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-46099497491209467842012-01-04T02:55:11.028+00:002012-01-04T02:55:11.028+00:00Half a life ago a man I loved then said to me: &qu...Half a life ago a man I loved then said to me: "You taught me to notice little things." Perhaps that was the best compliment I ever had.<br /><br />But you teach us all to notice things we would never otherwise see.<br /><br />Your new life will be well spent, I know.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979547096244105508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-23829786143316193272012-01-03T22:29:05.943+00:002012-01-03T22:29:05.943+00:00Jean, I think you're doing the right thing in ...Jean, I think you're doing the right thing in leaving your job. I did a similar thing - leaving a crushingly busy university admin job in 1997, and it wasn't easy - finances and uncertainty about the future, and moving from London to Oxford soon after, were all very, very hairy! But it all saved me from going round the bend. <br /><br />I really think you could have success with your photos, which are individual, not like anyone else's.Viviennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-14073877560294895032012-01-03T21:54:02.314+00:002012-01-03T21:54:02.314+00:00Jean, I hope openness to the future become the dom...Jean, I hope openness to the future become the dominant theme of the coming weeks. As one who moved recently, I know the feeling of wanting to leave everything in order, but I also know I probably did more than necessary. Your primary responsibility is shifting to yourself, after many years of doing for others and being consumed by the process. That's scary but so, so wonderful.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829062955658284450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-75072526795931480822012-01-03T16:46:04.673+00:002012-01-03T16:46:04.673+00:00A very special happy new year to you.

May it be a year of magical moments for you. <br /><br />And a thought: is there any chance to make space for this transit time, at least to some degrees? to give the future an open space before findig a more defined way, to think not "lost", but "open" - i know, it's not easy. but reading your lines, i felt a part of you doesn't want to be put from one plan into the next.
