Is a new opportunity - a job offering, something I have been praying for to be able to get out of a life with too much work for too little pay, which obliges me to be in top-form all the time, and which has certainly contributed to my burn-out last year. The price: most likely having to leave the dogs behind (with whom and how?) and moving away from family, friends and church for two to three years. Maybe nowadays there is no certainty beyond that time-frame.
Is this really what I want to do at the age of 50? I am hesitant - torn between the comfort of friends and family, something I took blood, sweat and tears to build up; and the lure of new challenges and somewhat more comfort and security. Everyone around me is saying that this is a fantastic opportunity (I agree) and is encouraging me to accept the offer. Discernment also happens through listening to those around you - and as I was once told, following the path always comes with some pain.
Keith is loving the diversity and exotism of Bangkok - at least of what he has seen up to now. He is embracing the idea of change with enthousiasm - something that would have been unthinkable only a year ago. It would seem that miracles do indeed happen.
