I want to be here







Soft, warm and inviting! Exactly where I want to be. It's snowing here, mid-April! Yuck. I really want to put my mittens in storage, for goodness sake.

Thank you for all the wonderful words of encouragement last week! It's an incredible feeling, to know that I'm striking forth on a new adventure. I've signed up for my summer course, talked about an end date with my boss and now just need to get through these last few weeks. By the way, talk about tricky, having to stay focused on projects that no longer seem "that" important. For a month. Hmm. Very tricky!

I want to be there too!

Congrats on following your dream, that is wonderful! I wanted to be a nurse too, but didn't pursue it. Perhaps someday. Yay for you my dear!!!

May I join you? we could have tea.

Can I go there too?

So exciting about your new adventure, but it will be hard to get things done now that you know you're leaving... short timers disease always strikes at the end of a job!

So inspired by you following your dreams.

What is going on? You guys have snow, we're trapped in above 90 degree heat. The world is mad.
