"Make Like A Tree"

"Make like a tree and let the dead leaves drop" - Rumi

This week marks the end of my career as a massage therapist. After much deliberation and not a little sadness, we have come to the decision to let this "dead leaf" drop. Over the past year I have been feeling less and less enthusiasm for the work and with the arrival of three lively grandkids in our lives on a more frequent basis, I have plenty to keep me busy. In addition, the anticipated regular visits to England and other travel plans means that I will have much less availability in the future. On the negative side is the inescapable fact that although my back is healed, every time I do a few massages, it starts to flare up again.
