Hi Taraz.
Always nice to see you pop up in my comments. I am alive and kicking - thanks for asking.
Really appreciate your input on this - seems you are as apt as your brother when it comes to reading between the lines - what actually matters and what does not. Your response made me think about the things I "actually" need to. I would say "thank you", but yeah... lol :)
Ah, the irony ;D
It is good to take a step back at these times as often it looks like there is a fork in the road but that is not the case, there are many. Take your time, there is no reason to rush.
You are so right - there are always many and no, I am in no rush - however, having said that... I know EXACTLY what I want and where I am headed. Age, wisdom and an overflowing bucket of "opfoks" (am pretty certain I don't need to give the English translation for that) as we like to call them here in SA has taught me to slow down to a pace which actually works with reality. :) This helps a generous amount with clarity and decision making thank goodness, lol.
... I think I just admitted to being grateful for getting old haha! I am good with that.
I got the context, but I had to google it for precision :)
As they say, it is best to "age gracefully"
Alas, that may never be my strong suit... growing up surrounded (and raised) by four men made "grace" damn near impossible... but, I live and learn, haha! :)
