We’ve all heard the old adage, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it…
I’ve been eyeing a certain bridge for a while now
taking tentative steps towards it
and now comes the time to cross it
or
not cross it
what if I don’t like what I see on the other side?
but what if the reward is everything I hope for?
and
what if
I miss the opportunity to cross that bridge
because I’m too busy second guessing
what if my ship sails without me?
leaving me to wish I had crossed that bridge when I had the chance…
Keep moving,
xoxo nancy
my year of sweat 
Wonderful. Maybe we continue to be brave enough to cross those bridges when they come.
I just took my first step. Will share what I’m talking about when I can. xoxo
This is very mysterious!
mysterious with beautiful pictures, which is good 😀
All will be revealed soon…
😀
I am not patient…
But I suspect I have no choice 🙂
Can’t talk about it openly yet. But I can always email you beforehand. 🙂
😀
I can be patient if absolutely necessary…
Ha! I’ll email you tonight. 🙂
😀
Yeay!
Beautiful pictures and nice metaphoras!
I’m facing the metaphorical bridge crossing as we speak. 🙂
Way to leave us with a cliff hanger, Nancy! Beautiful photos and best of luck with your next step. 🙂
Thanks Lisa! I’ve taken a few steps onto said bridge… Should be in a position to share fully in a couple of weeks.
Love the pictures – and the unknown is always terrifying for me – but I have faith in you! 🙂
This one is pretty scary, but I’ve gotta follow my gut. xoxo
Spring and fall at the same vantage point? No email for me? I’m not talking about leaves….. 🙂
You are nothing if not persistent, Rob. 🙂
Well, maybe fig leaves……
Snort!
You know, you said after the corsage….
I lied. 🙂
Then you said after breakfast. With blueberries.
Wha?? Breakfast? Blueberries??
Yeah, remember that extra pancake I let you have?
Oh dear. Are you hallucinating?
What? You were going to take it anyway? 😉
🙂
My problem is trying to fly across chasms when the bridge isn’t there. Ha. I’m looking forward to hearing about what’s going on when you can talk about it.
Thanks Andra. It’s the thing that popped up unexpectedly the day I arrived in CHS. I’m at the go/no go point. Scary.
Gorgeous picture!! Ohhh how could you not cross that bridge!!! A mystery indeed!!! xoxoxo
It’s unlikely I won’t cross. Just need to talk myself through it, is all.
Another wordy Wednesday 😉 But I’ll forgive you because it was wonderful. And also because I got a shock when I realised it was Wednesday again! Time flies!
Just call me your handy dandy calendar! Well, a one-day-of-the-week calendar, that is.
It gives me a little jolt once a week so that’s good 🙂 And Wednesday is hump day!
That it is. Er. Was.
Today is better though – today is moving day 🙂
Best. Day. Ever.
Seriously 🙂 The girls are soooo nice! Feel at home already 🙂
Yay!!! But…sads for no more crazy-but-funny posts about the swede.
I have to pick up the rest of my stuff tomorrow. If he tries to murder me, I’ll write a post about it 😉
Sweet! 😀
He’s just sent me a text looking for another month’s rent. Freak.
What a nut job. You are so smart to be out of there.
Just went to pick up the rest of my stuff. He’s insisting on another month’s rent and saying that the landlady will sue me when she finds out and I’ll never rent again in Berlin…
Going to contact her myself to explain what happened. Hopefully she won’t take it any further.
Good luck! She’s got to be more reasonable than the crazy Swede…
I hope so!
I sense some very exciting news is coming!!! 😉
Possibly… 🙂
Oh, this promises more…steps! And to learn what’s on the other side…maybe. Right?
Absolutely! Once I cross over, I’ll fill you all in. 🙂
Wow! Powerful post Nancy and you have no idea how appropriate this is for me right now. Thank you! I’m going to re-look at this a few times. Much love
Good luck with your bridge decision, my friend. I think mine is do or die by end of day Friday.
Ooh . . . exciting. I’m a big believer in “Just Leap and the Net Will Appear.” Thus far, I haven’t landed with a SPLAT!
Good luck with the crossing! And have a FAB day on your Special Day tomorrow.
Thanks NH. Virtually every time I’ve faced this particular decision in the past. I’ve been happy with my choice. Once or twice though…regret. My gut is telling me which way to go. I’ll probably follow that intuition.
So deep, mysterious, and provocative. I dig it. Beautiful pics as well. Can’t wait to hear the whole story.
Thanks Martha. Hopefully soon.
One of my fears is that the bridge I’m on will suddenly collapse. I have all these weird scenarios in my head about what I will do if that happens. Am I the only one will all these crazy fears?! LOL
I get VERY anxious travelling through tunnels. I imagine them collapsing and burying me.
Oh Nancy, sounds exciting! Can’t wait to hear, and definitely follow your gut.
My motto, ALWAYS cross the bridge. No guts, no glory, No regrets. 😀
Of course, I haven’t yet made my giant leap out of the corporate world, but that one is coming!
(PS: Whew, I have caught up. Now to attend to my own blog. HA)
You are such a gem, Lynne. I love that you take the time to get caught up with your bloggy friends. I treasure you and the time and energy you spend engaging here. xoxo
Right back atcha, my lady! I deeply appreciate your interest and great comments, even though my obsession is not up your alley… at least, not yet! 😉 XXOO
Great photos, Nancy. My family has always joked with me that the think I was likely an architect in some other lifetime as I’m constantly pulling off the side of the road to examine the structure and beauty of any bridge that catches my fancy as we’re en route someplace. There’s something so intrinsically alluring about them. I vote cross it.
🙂
Just made the decision this afternoon. Crossing underway. Thank S. xoxo
Lots of beauty and layers of meaning to peel back here. Thanks, John
I may have revealed the gist of the mystery in my last reply to you
I like this! It is very intriguing, Nancy. I’ll say “good for you” and wait for the big reveal! I love your photo essay…very provocative and beautiful all at the same time. 🙂
Thank you, Debra! I took a deep breath yesterday and took my first big step. 🙂
I trust I can read about it when I come back!
