mom's words of wisdom

For those of you unfamiliar with Pat Nelson's ability with words, welcome. She wrote this to me on Feb 17th:

C'bert: So now you are in Beijing.......and you accomplished the Herculean task of figuring out how one moves away for an unspecified, but probably lengthy, period of time. You successfully moved stuff and stored stuff and got rid of stuff, sorted out insurance and car and telephone and who knows what else and said one million goodbyes and now you're there. If I remember the beginning of most adventures I have known, you may be thinking "Eeegads. I'm here. What now?" First you congratulate yourself on what you have already (rather gracefully) managed to accomplish. Then.........well, then you just keep going. Just like you have done. So, with these incredible words of wisdom I shall leave you to go off to my daily adventure --not to deal with death and disease, but with healing and with coping. (I'm trying to be a more positive person). You know we're thinking of you---trying to imagine what you're doing, who you're with, what your reaction to China is...................and, of course waiting with baited breath to hear from you. So, enjoy (the air?, the peaceful streets??) No, the adventure.
I love you! Mom
Thanks momma, you keep me going.
