Hi all (who know me),
after 20 years my love for bridge got lost and I retire (at least I will take a longer break). There are many different reasons for that which I do not want to explain here further, but to go without a word just does not seem to be right because I participated from the very first days on, met many friends and nice persons here and learned a lot.
♥A special "thank you" to Fred, Sheri and Uday♥ for a good time and the many possibilities to play and improve here and on BBO!
Best wishes and have fun! Bridge is still a nice game and life is short :)
Yours,
Caren

Hi Caren,

I’m a little sad to read this, it feels like a friend is moving away. I have enjoyed your contributions here and enjoyed getting to know you in this strange online community.

I know you will succeed and follow your heart, I hope a little of your passion for life has worn off on us. :)

You will be missed♥

Something to take with you on your journey....


Twisting, turning, unrelenting
Dark and deep and never ending
Seemingly we have no choice, but
When we try and raise our voice, we
Often call to those beside us
Hoping they will hear and help us
Only then to realize that they too
Are struggling just to stay afloat.

How can we then hope to persist
And even more than just survive
What will we do, how to proceed
Is there hope, not to be denied?

Recall that in our darkest moments
Even as our failing gestures
Confirmed the power of that river
And the breadth of its mighty course
That together, sensing pressures
Feeling currents, testing efforts
We will find both rest and pleasure
On the way to where we’re destined.
The Grand Design, reflected in the face of Chaos...it's a fluke!

Caren,

I'm sorry to hear that. Your warm and pleasant conversations will be missed.

Caren,

Have a nice break, don't call it a retirement, and don't forget to come back...
