"When one jumps over the edge...

One is bound to land somewhere."
D.H. Lawrence

These words fill my head these days. While not overly optimistic, it is nice that they have replaced another phrase full of expletives, which has pulsed in my head every waking moment and marched through my dreams at night for the past two weeks since I made the decision to quit my job and return to school.

It's time. I've been postponing it for ages now, but it's finally time. I wasn't quite prepared to quit my very stable, well paying job that I love, but ultimately it was the right decision. No matter that the idea of not having a full-time job, for the first time since I was 16, terrifies me! Thankfully, feelings of fear and uncertainty are offset by the excitement and anticipation of taking on a new challenge.

This 30th year of mine has been all about change, personal redefinition and flying by the seat of my pants. It's appropriate, I think, to end this year by making a huge leap...I hope the landing is gentle.
