I read a post the other day that was titled "What if Success is Measured by Happiness?" The last line said: "Why not evaluate what you’re doing in your life. Are you feeding your happiness or your ego and society’s expectations?" The bottom line is, being happy is the pinnacle of success (IMHO). I commend you on following your life's passions and devoting yourself to what is really important to you. Congratulations on getting to this decision.

My hat's off to you for coming to a difficult decision. Sounds like you've learned a lot along the way too. A day of peach picking and kayaking is in due order, indeed.

I hear you 100%. How we learned that crazy busyness is the way to live is beyond me. When we get off that crazy path, a whole new world opens up. And you change the world in more ways than you'll know. I strongly believe it. Kudos for listening to yourself. You are changing the world by making this decision. I hear you 100%.

I didn't think I'd have time for school, let alone actually get into a University after years out of high school; luckily I found the right place for me. Marylhurst University was a great place to be a working adult with a family and still get a thorough, quality education. Finishing a degree seemed possible. So, well, much as I wouldn't encourage you to quit, I can see that you've really thought it out. And quitting something doesn't seem to be the norm for you, so, I guess you understand the pros and cons. I wish you luck on your decision and journey of how school might fit in for you in your life.
