Sotto. Thank you for your comments. There is many a wise word in your response. I am not sure how I feel about having fans but I do appreciate your support.

Gordie. Sorry to break the illusion that I am a DB machine!! I am very much human and my M crisis is on going as are my own struggles. At this stage any decision I make could not be considered snap/rash. But I agree it is better to settle the mind before deciding any major decisions.Feelings are good guides in life but make lousy drivers. They indicate if you are on the right path or not but are very fickle in determining a new path. Thank you for sharing your thoughts

Willdo, I will drop back to your thread when I get a chance. Our timeframes are similar though it appears our situations differ. I hear your pain and understand your struggle. Thanks for your support
