Re: Is there any Holiday Hope?

Linn, I know I am not in the business of job counseling but since you asked I thought I would offer my reaction. Right now you are going through so many changes and turmoil already that I wonder if it would be a wise time to make another major change. I have heard it said that when one is going through a life altering experience that its a good idea to not make alot of big decisions since we are not always thinking too clearly. The new job would be so much further to travel. And would you have the security that you do right now? The accrued benefits, coworkers and administration who understand your situation?
Once we've had a major diagnosis it's important not to tamper too much with the insurance gods!
Anyhow, I'm big on not making changes just for the sake of change. Especially when you have alot on your plate already. JMHO
Keep the faith
