How many years do I have left and what do I really want to do with them? What is important to me? What do I really need to keep doing anyway? What can I let go? I wish you all the best with your decisions, Laura. Glad I bought some yarn from Doug while I had the chance! ;)<br /><br />Sorry I missed you at Fibres West. See you next month for our guild program!Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-64892834187438924882014-03-24T15:20:25.732-07:002014-03-24T15:20:25.732-07:00I'm with all three of you - Laura, Liz, & ...I'm with all three of you - Laura, Liz, & Sandra. I've submitted my retirement letter from my paycheck job, which I've always had, done at the end of June. I will still weave, but I've had so many specific requests for the last several months that I've cut back on shows. I will probably always do some, because I do like that customer interaction, but they are so much work that dropping 2 this year feels absolutely right.Peg Cherrehttp://www.secondwindjewelry.com/jewelry-weaving-blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-75870472625447654872014-03-24T13:56:38.677-07:002014-03-24T13:56:38.677-07:00I know exactly how you feel, and I'm almost 70...I know exactly how you feel, and I'm almost 70! (How the heck did that happen, anyway?) I support your decision to stop selling at shows, since I know how exhausting it is, and the pleasure of talking fiber doesn't take away the aches and pains of carting stuff there and back. Do what you enjoy, and drop the rest!Sandra Rudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691078578557110217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-66203154056023856692014-03-24T12:22:31.596-07:002014-03-24T12:22:31.596-07:00Dear Laura;

When part of what we love, (and you and I have similar passions) becomes something too exhausting and too unappealing, its good to be able to let go without regret. I applaud your decision, and wish you every happiness as you continue on your chosen path. Hugs, Liz.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214268808262424344noreply@blogger.com
