I once thought I could never leave but the pull of the Cruising Dream has gradually nudged that certainty from my mind. Still... there will be unexpected moments like these that will give me a shock. I was already thinking I might have to "skip" my last day at work as it could prove to be my undoing. But, maybe my undoing will come sooner than that... I'll keep your words in mind, Thank you.<br />TTammy Swarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06779759048984133676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377250274517734866.post-52425623194061327002013-02-15T00:44:54.222-04:002013-02-15T00:44:54.222-04:00I was the Director of a non-profit for 17 years wh...I was the Director of a non-profit for 17 years when I left to do this crazy thing. I thought I would never leave the organization I founded and nurtured and thought it might not make it if I wasn't around to nudge a little here and there. I attended the annual big event the first year and though it was different in many ways, it succeeded. Lo these 7 years later, I rarely give it a thought. I raised it right, had a wonderful and special time and impacted a broad sector of the populace. But the "baby" grew up and stands on its own and those people probably think of me occasionally (and fondly) I believe, but my new life filled in all the gaps left by the removal of the previous. In the cruising life (and probably on land too) you will realize that people come into your life in three ways; some for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317244468815307701noreply@blogger.com
