I like this Monday morning's motivations (which always reach me Monday early evening!); or perhaps it's just my own particular current circumstances.
ReplyDeleteOh little brother- I hope your circumstance are good....
DeleteWell, in six weeks I leave, and it's probably the first time in my move-filled life that I feel anxious and am getting cold feet. I can't see the whole staircase and behind me is so familiar. Maybe I just need to get more flamboyant about it all!
ReplyDeleteI am sure it must be very frightening but so exciting. You know, you only have positivs to look forard to. Spain has been wonderful, and nothing says that you cannot return when you are ready. Relationships will continue if they are meant to be, and people will continue to come and go in your life. Just because someone isn;t physically near, they are still in your heart and can be part of your life. We also plan to come see you in Paris next summer, all three of us. I am sure that it will take adjusting but you will never regret going.
