2 to go...

It's a funny feeling when you realise your time is almost up...
I don't mean this in the drastic way you may read it as but...Tomorrow is my last day at the hell hole I've worked at for nearly 3 years and, on ocassion, has nearly beaten me into submission. I fear without this out-let and certain...special people, I may have been beaten long ago.
I wonder now about what I do next. I move to a new adventure on foreign shores which, while it excites me, scares the crap out of me! You see, my safety net is my family and those who I choose to call family. They are all SO close even if slightly distanced from me (geographically)...and now I leave them all behind in 9 days. Walking the tight-rope in San Francisco. Worrying about whether I'm cut out for all this after all!

I sit here at my desk. Thoroughly bored, and feeling the nerves build! After all this time is there a part of me afraid to leave what I know? Or is it the thought of leaving the people who I talk to everyday via e-mail and over cups of Yorkshire Tea?! It's the latter.

If you read this...you're in the privileged few people who know me and actually know about this. I'll miss you all. But...keep your eyes on this, your e-mails, your phones...and any other medium I can get my hands on...I may be going far away but I NEED to remain close.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Thoughts on life...

"Simplicity is the final achievment. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that is the crowning reward of art." - Frederic Chopin.

I love my phone. The best thing about it is an app I have which gives me a daily quote. Every now and then (as you'll have seen in my previous entries herein) it gives me one that I like. One I'd like to adhere to or, in this case, one that makes me think about life in the World we all live in.

Simplicity is the crowning reward of art. Substitute the word art with life. We often clutter our lives with complications. Maybe, like me, you try to please everyone. This is no easy task. So, I will try from now to un-complicate my life. If I have made promise to one person they shall have it kept. If another situation arises it shall wait in line until the first promise has been fulfilled.

I will start with the following: I promise to always do what I can for those I call "Family". Their numbers dwindle of late due to my perceptions. But none the less, those in this elite group know who they are. They have my love and respect. Always. SIMPLE...
