Thanks David. Yup, there's nothing like good old fashioned common sense.
And a bit of navel gazing now and then can be hugely important, both to help reinforce that you're on the right path and to help you notice when you're veering off track before you go too far.
Congratulations on making a change.

Congratulations, Curt. This is just good old fashioned common sense in a modern palatable form. I took this route a while back and there were times when I wondered if I had done the right thing. I looked back and assessed again why I had done the things I had done and why I had gone down certain paths. I found that moment or two of navel gazing to be a reinforcement of the good decisions I had taken to get to where I was at the time.
I do hope people take your advice. It is sound and applicable and flexible enough to be adaptable to anyone's circumstances.
In the end, as someone once said, there was nothing to fear but fear itself.
