Good morning! Today is the day! I find myself being aware that everything I do is the last time I’ll do it in the house. Had my last night of sleep, took my last shower, made my last cup of tea, and now I’m writing my last blog in this house. I have a lot to do so I’ll keep it short with a quote from W.H. Murray given to me last night by Miss Michaela Murphy:

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: ‘Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.'”

Off I go into uncharted territories…
