Ambivalent, I'm going to toss something out to you and you can mull it over. Have you given any thought to possibly setting up a little side business w/decorating and creating costumes for dance classes? It sounds like you have a creative streak there that might need to be channeled and since people admire your costumes and you enjoy doing them...just something to think about.
Some more messy weather heading our way today. Waffle making sounds like a great idea.
If you are not up to decorating a lot, keep it simple and tasteful. You've had a lot going on in your life and you do not need to "keep the normal traditions" in place. Do something different, if you so wish.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed on your interviews and that the right one comes along.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
