If you ever have a chance to move, leave a long standing job or even as we are, leave for a year... DO IT!! We have been overwhelmed with people stopping by or calling to wish us well. This is all a little bit like the Jimmy Stewart movie, "Its a Wonderful Life". People from our past have been coming through town just to wish us well. I was even interviewed for the newspaper on my taking a year off.
Leaving or making a big change gives the people in your life a chance to share their thoughts and feelings with you. People care and often watch your life but without change they never have the chance to express their thoughts. It is a little bit like attending your own funeral. My heart has been so warmed by those at work and others who stop to wish us well. All of this has made my desire to come back grow. I do enjoy my job and my life in Ellensburg. Our choices of a small town with a small house are proving to be very smart in these more difficult economic times.
On the other hand, please remember to express your thoughts as others leave or move on in your life. Your simple words can truly change a life. Care and concern are fuel for the heart.

Our small town library is already falling apart without you, Joan. The computers were shutting everyone down at 7pm even though we started our fall hours and were open until 8pm. The next morning it took 3 people to figure out what to do to reset the computers. You will definitely be missed this year. But I am eagerly reading your blog to find out what happens next! Rhonda
