Ever since I left for Costa Rica people have been asking me if I have any regrets about leaving my job. I've always said "no". I still say "no".

Those four years were a time of great growth.

Had I stayed I would be very tired now, but I'm refreshed and ready to go. I just need a job.

I know now that I'll not want to "retire" and "veg out" for many years. I'm ready to get back on the horse and build another program, build a private practice.

When I get to the point I don't want to continue teaching...a long ways off. I also know where I want to "retire" and "veg out"...Costa Rica.

I now have a good sense of my direction.

Once again, I'm looking for a job in a rotten job market (like in '73).

No regrets!!

	id# 275 - search key = "humor" Friday, 12-Feb-10 Quote the OS evermore Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing, Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more. "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!" One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more, Just, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

Written in Note Pad

"...be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now ... Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." - Rainer Maria Rilke
