So much change in so little time. I’ve felt powerless and small, but I’ve been reminded to look at my every days, and ride them like a wave. I’ve tried to hold on but have learned to let go. I feel all the changes are positive. I feel I’m ready for a new beginning. I feel lucky to have met many good people, including many of you, who have sent me words of concern, encouragement and thought. Thank you.
