England can wait

Well, just a short post today. I recently made a tough decision and thought this would be an easy way to share it.

I've decided to postpone my trip to the Shakespeare Institute until, hopefully, next year.

I know, I know, most of you are wondering how in the world could I pass up such a great opportunity.

Because, when it comes down to it, I'm not ready.

I'm exhausted, emotionally beat and I just am in no way motivated to go. Not yet. I'm still fighting this urge to run away and I don't want my motivation to go to England to be running away from life. If running away is my motivation, then I won't have the right thought-process for research and delving into the history of Shakespeare.

My desire to go to the Shakespeare Institute is still strong. In fact, it's heart-breaking to have to wait another year, but I just can't leave home right now.

So this year my life is kind of up in the air. My kids are all grown up, and I have more freedom this year than I've ever had. So what's next...

I'm not quite sure...
