Loved the article. The courage to do the hard thing.
Thank you for the work you did during the aids crisis. It’s so easy to forget that time.
So many thoughts triggered….how do I convince my wife that full retirement doesn’t work for me. I’m working less…she’d prefer I work not at all. Working on my courage. This year was the one more year ( part time)…I don’t want it to be the last. So…right now I am working on building up my courage. Working doesn’t interfere with out traveling, going away in the winter … sorry..rambling thoughts,
I so resonated with how potent it can be to leave the familiar...and the quote about the best gift we can give another is our own transformation. Reflects back. On my abuse book and how it came to be. Feel better!
Life is hard and decisions are hard but reading this is encouragement for people and start making a change. People forget that change ca be very small. The vision can be big but the starting point needs to be small and manageable and towards something larger. Each small step needs to take you towards the goal and anything that doesn't needs to get cut. It took me a long time to understand and still trying to figure it out. Jan wishing you luck as you navigate the challenges and hope you are on the mend. Thank you for sharing this story.
You are one strong woman! I am in awe of you more and more with every new post! Feel better. Stay awake , but please also get some rest and sleep- to restore yourself- before you recharge. 🥰🙏
Do take care of yourself, Jan! Your life sounds incredibly hectic...at east to me! I didn't know you spent that amount of time helping HIV patients—you are incredibly strong and brave. As Kathy said below, it is easy to forget that time. I can picture you running through an airport (I've done that in my time), but only because I was the one who was late. My two cents: Take the cab—you'll never miss the money and your body will thank you!
First, hope you are feeling better.
