Esther, thank you so much for this -- it really made me smile.  You know,
it has made me feel immeasurably better just to know that I am not alone.

Can I be the PPS Researcher-in-Residence?  I graduate this month with my
Master's in Library & Information Studies (yes, at 32 I'm old enough to
have a second career epiphany) and my subject specialty is Medicine.

Well, I'm off to the beauty of the Highland sea
where the ocean whispers endlessly,
and the waves upon the shore roll up the sands so gracefully.
I've travelled this country for the longest time
in search of myself I did find --
my heart will always be in Nova Scotia's hands!
