Re: Stopping Working

The other shoe has dropped! I am glad you gave yourself the opportunity to try staying at work. I think you would have regretting not doing so.
So, now, what to do??? As the others have said, take some time to think about what really interests you. Or what would make you feel good. Maybe something as a volunteer related to the students who you love so much. But try finding a NEW thing, too. Just for you. Jackie's vacation idea sounds really good!
I know you'll figure it out. For now, put your feet up! And keep the faith.
