"One of the hardest decisions you will ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder."

Rainy, windy with the leaves of Spring falling in bunches, grey, cool type of morning, perfect for a lil soul searching. The song is by The Carpenters, and the quote is by an unknown.  

I would say that a bunch of us in the hobby, on both sides---client/provider, have said "Goodbye to Love",(of a S/O, and even family) and made that hard decision to just walk away( I'm sure the reasons that those of us who walked away had plenty of things in our life that made us choose that route. No judgement from this hobby guy, as I did just that, i.e. say goodby to S/O---kids were out the door, and my 4-legged "son" had passed^..^(,,,,,,

I will never be a part of that picture of an elderly couple at the end of their lives clinging to one another after 60 plus years together(  There was another song by Gail Garnet(sp?) about being together and singing in the sunshine for one year, then going away and leaving wonderful memories to be cherished by the guy)~~~ I've had several ladies, since joining the hobby, whose company I enjoyed for a year, or just a little longer, before they got on with their lives, leaving me with wonderful memories to warm me on days like today;P~~~ While drinking a cup of Joe, of course) Speaking of which, I need to go to the coffee place and chat with my morning friends about the pretties coming in in their short shorts that are cut up so high that half their cute lil buns are hanging out, especially when they bend over the counter, O, MY! I grab the best seat in the place for viewing such, while remembering why I walked away)  "Goodbye to Love", "Hello Mary Lou,", or whoever is gonna make the sun shine today
