[the Theater Break question]

[greenlily]

A friend is hosting a discussion on her Facebook about what it means to take a break from theater. My story of how I came to my current hiatus was too long to post there, so I'm posting here and linking it there.

While I applaud and admire you taking control of your life this way and making decisions that improve it, I don't want you to think for a moment that we don't miss you!

awwww. *hugs* None of this would have been possible if I hadn't been so warmly welcomed into the T@F community. You and Beckie and Jo and so many other folks have always, always made me feel like I'm valued for myself, and not just for how much time or skill I can contribute to a project. I don't much like to think about what the past ten or so years would have looked like for me if I hadn't met you and your people. :)

What Elizabeth said. :)

Ditto! I'm glad you're happy and being satisfied by the work you're doing, but I miss seeing you, and I also think that we think more highly of your skills than you do. Don't for a moment think that we're just willing to let you do things if you try hard enough -- we very much appreciate what you bring to every role you have filled with T@F.

Your efforts and enthusiasm helped make BB1938 and BB1946 the most memorable of my experiences with PMRP.

Good for you for figuring out what change you needed to make and making it. That can be really hard.
