Wow, Kelly. You seem cautiously upbeat about this major life change. Gotta admire you for that!

Yeah, what AMN said about it not being your identity is great advice.

I expect a new world will open up to you. Now you can work for pleasure instead of the paycheck! Sounds good to me! I hope you find something to occupy your time and abilities that is a good fit. Working with the elderly could be very rewarding for you -- got for it!!!

Hugs and best wishes to you.
