I wish only the best for you.
Good luck on your new adventure.
By the by I am also a fan of Pema Chodron, I named a cat after her.

We'll thicken it up for you with a roux, call it "bisque" instead of chowder. Couple of tablespoons of Tabasco, you'll be a happy beachcomber.
Say . . . you're not one of those Irish selkies, are you?
Happy travels.

Steven, Steven! Whenever you are in the cafe here I always reach for my dictionary knowing I will be looking up something. Selkie is not in Webster's so for anyone else who did not know what a selkie is, from Google:
"The shy Selkies are marine creatures in the shape of a seal. They can be found near the islands of Orkney and Shetland. A female can shed her skin and comes ashore as a beautiful woman. When a man finds the skin, he can force the Selkie to be a good, if somewhat sad, wife. Should she ever recover the skin, she will immediately return to the sea, leaving her husband behind. The male Selkies are responsible for storms and also for the sinking of ships, which is their way of avenging the hunting of seals"
Being a Muse is a much more attractive proposition!
Thank you Sharon, all the support here is appreciated and you WILL be hearing of my adventure down south. I met a woman this morning who told me I will find everyone is more pleasant (which I have experienced on my trips to Atlanta) in the south because there is more sunshine. It is 70 and gray and raining today in Cleveland, tomorrow it will be 34 and Lord knows, it is never ever good weather for the St. Patrick's Day parade, though we all show up for it anyways!!

I'm glad you've made that choice.
What helped me was joining various groups (art groups, hiking groups, whatever you're interested in) whenever I moved to a new city (I've done it a few times, actually). You will probably miss your family and friends a lot, so getting out and about to meet new people will make all the difference.

A good idea, Michele. I am looking forward to meeting our Julie Deane and joining her art group!

Check out the Portrait Society of Atlanta, too, of course!

Good luck to you, Pat! I've been following this thread but, since I have never felt the desire to pull up roots and move from Philadelphia, I didn't have much wisdom to impart and so I've just been reading all the wise and varied responses.
And just because I'm content here, it doesn't mean I don't like to travel, so maybe I'll see you in Atlanta.
Alex
