Thank you all so much for your encouraging and supportive words! I've gotten over it now, with your help. Now I'm free of the office for 4.5 days, yay! Hadn't had a long weekend in ages. Tomorrow I'm off to a nice hotel for a one-day congress on international commerce (she sent me as a thanks for my dedication) and then Thursday till Saturday I'll be in the Via Dolorosa and Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, taking photos of the Good Friday processions. People from all over the world, it's going to be beautiful. I was lucky to find a group to enrol to, with a good guide, for the 2 days. I took a lovely hotel room, so that I don't have to worry about parking and driving. I'm really rejoicing.
And again thank you to those of you who encouraged me on this forum on another thread to pursue my travel, writing and Photography interests, I'm loving it!
