ere the bonnie boat was won

a lot of time has passed - time at home, time in italy, time in norfolk, time happy, time distracted, time bright and time dreary - and i realised today that june will seem an empty month if i don't post now.

i sometimes wonder why i continue. but somehow i can't imagine not.

"never continue in a job you don't enjoy.
if you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. and if
you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined."*
- johnny carson (american tv host, 1925-2005)

i not only need to like the work i do, i also need it to like me. i need to be sure that i can - and will - do it well.
it's not the first time i've followed my instincts, and made a decision like this.
i hope it's the last, though.
