A Turning Point

There comes a time and you just know. I thought I would want to work for a few more years but then about a month ago I realized that I could no longer work as before. I needed to concentrate on making my body strong and while working at my graphic design business gave me some sense of normalcy, it was quickly becoming apparent that I had very few normal days.

At first it was quite a shock for me in many ways, giving up my valued clients, many who had also become my friends. I know it will take a long time to wind up these complex relationships, some that have gone on for 10 - 20 years but it must happen and we must all move on.

I was very touched when one CEO of a company, now retired, who wrote me a heart felt email telling me he would be glad to help me get to doctor's appointments. That meant a lot.

My studio is still there and I will still go in for a few hours on most days. There is archiving to be done and I want to help Richard with his internet businesses. That will be a lot less pressure since it is a business I well understand.

And so it goes. I am spending a couple of weeks at home now on a "stay- cation" and that has been good. The miserable 100 plus degree days have moved on so I hope to spend a bit more time outside and plan to have more time in the therapy pool, a bit of heaven for me on most days.
