Interesting. The town I spoke of was about 5,000 people(!) So, oh yes, all those small town things... I am glad to hear you will be contributing your talents regardless of how things unfold.

Sooo hear you on the nervous/stress/emotional fragility thing. I struggle all the time with that too. All we can do is our best (like anyone else), take that leap of faith and try. (My most recent job I almost didn't take on. It was all wrong for me on so many different levels - skills, personality, physically even and I was soooo afraid. And to top it off, I didn't even have the least interest in such work(!) Turned out ok though. So if that small story is of any help...)

Enjoy your relaxation time and sweet s to you!
