		<description>Not funny ha-ha but the other kind. A bit more on what you and Amy just mentioned…Having met you for the first time at Liz’s place, I thought I’d wander over and visit your blog today. Before I did though, I had to put the finishing touches on my own post before it got much later. I did, hit the publish button, returned to my Google reader and read your post. Amazing</description>

		<description>I have had a hard time making a move that I want to make.  Anyway, I just &quot;Google&#039;d&quot; &quot;Fear of Change&quot; and read three or four articles, looking for inspiration.  This was by far the best.  Thanks!</description>

		<description>Howdy, Erica; welcome to the Middle Zone - nice to meet ya! (Actually, it&#039;s the first time in months I&#039;ve been able to join Open Mic night, and I was only there for a few minutes. My Tuesday nights are usually occupied with &quot;other stuff&quot;...)

Wow; read your post and that&#039;s really weird. There must be a hidden meme floating around the blogosphere.

Thanks for the kind words and I hope to see you again soon - you&#039;re not a stranger anymore!</description>

		<description>Hi Robert,

Funny thing. Not funny ha-ha but the other kind. A bit more on what you and Amy just mentioned...Having met you for the first time at Liz&#039;s place, I thought I&#039;d wander over and visit your blog today. Before I did though, I had to put the finishing touches on my own post before it got much later. I did, hit the publish button, returned to my Google reader and read your post. Amazing. I had just posted an essay I wrote about what I call Trust the Process. And it included a theme park, a ride, and dealing with change.... The world is indeed small. thankfully. Love your take on things and I&#039;ll drop by again soon:)</description>

		<description>Wow, Amy; this is getting weird! What do you call it when everything seems to meet in some sort of nexus or something? Hmmm... could it be &quot;the Bermuda Triangle&quot;? :-\

Strange how there always seem to be sortof &quot;common threads&quot; of thought making their way through the blogosphere now and then... Could they be the first stirrings of that &quot;mass consciousness&quot; some people are always talking about?

Naaaahh! It&#039;s probably just gas.

But just in case, Amy - stay tuned for tomorrow&#039;s post!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know whether it&#039;s the time of year, but I&#039;ve been thinking of making a change too, and this post has really given me something to work with.  Thanks, Robert!</description>

		<description>That&#039;s OK, Jackie; my stories are like Tigger - they&#039;re generally made of rubber and can stretch quite a long ways... :-D

I like what you said about a &quot;different perspective&quot;. Why else &quot;do&quot; anything, right?

Also, I don&#039;t know why you&#039;re still showing up as a mysterious laughing squarehead over there *sigh*. It wasn&#039;t anything &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; did that brought Joanna to life, believe me!</description>

		<description>Hey Bob I didn&#039;t realise the wheel had gone. We went up in it a couple of times - leaving my daughter at the bottom. There was no way she was getting on with us - and she has missed various cable cars and ferris wheel experiences round the world.  I have no great head for heights myself but would not forego the chance to see ....

somewhere ( something) wonderful from a different perspective 

Maybe that stretches your story a bit too far?

		<description>Hey Joanna! I can see your smiling face too (cue the fireworks!) Don&#039;t know how, but I guess it &quot;healed&quot; itself. It&#039;s a modern miracle! (Or maybe Tully or someone tinkered a solution behind the scenes somehow.)

Just wait until tomorrow&#039;s post - I still have a bit more to say about &quot;going for it&quot;!

I agree though, some changes - like moving clear across country, for instance - you just can&#039;t do &lt;i&gt;slow&lt;/i&gt; - you just have to jump in! Yuk!

But after everything is said and done (and as you know, MORE is usually said than done!), I would say your final strategy sounds pretty valid. After all, if you&#039;re as prepared as you&#039;ll ever be... then it&#039;s time to &quot;close your eyes and floor it!&quot;</description>
