The funny thing is: I wish we could appreciate the now more, because when I look back, I see that life was mostly okay, that hindsight showed me good pictures.

My thoughts are with you as you make this transition. I'm certain that there will be many more opportunities for creativity ahead.

Like how good (answer "it's awesome"). What talent you have when you get a chance to sit down. <br /><br />I'm sorry about your Boss. I was a boss for a while in my own business. It sucked, I always say, what if someone offered you a trillion trillin dollars for three years of your life, you would go "nah" I would rather live three more years thanks anyway"... but how many bosses out there make that decision to give away their life for a lot less .... by giving away their life I mean t heir life's time. Something that is in short supply. <br /><br />Lucky we can't see into the future othersiwe the world would be a shambles of people having perpetual holydays :) <br /><br />Ah did I say how awesome your image is ? :) I also meant bbeautiful.

When I can manage that. Not every day IS manageable, I figure. But so far they've all been survivable. Enjoy the new things you see from that viewpoint.

Is money more important than a meaningful job? Is it possible to combine? There is no easy answer to the question, although I have - after many years - come to a conclusion for myself. I hope you find your answer, too, Linda. You are evidently both very creative and smart. And, yes, the hawk is beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-18616262017504012462013-01-29T04:52:03.080-08:002013-01-29T04:52:03.080-08:00Thanks everybody!
