Safety Net!

Dear Friends,
Amidst the de-cluttering, staging, showing and selling my home, I also did quite a bit of paperwork! Who knew exiting the job market entailed more work than joining it!
All interested parties (the board of education, the health insurance company, the pension board) have been notified of my honourable intentions. After much deliberation, I decided not to send my Dear John faxes to the college of teachers and the union. I allowed other people's anxiety and conservatism make me doubt my future in Cobourg. I've even started contemplating buying a smaller place in Toronto, instead of paying off my condo by the lake. 
What happened to my Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, philosophy?
I must admit, I'm quite disappointed in myself. I just might have to throw caution to the wind and withdraw my name from the list of occasional teachers. I will never be able to build a new life, if I keep the door open to the old one. There is no thrill in trapezing with safety net!
