A Temporary Change of Lifestyle

It is official. My email is turned off.

Already, I am overwhelmed with what I hope to accomplish while I'm unemployed. But, lest I get so overwhelmed that I don't move forward with my plans, I will create a project plan. My home and my lawn are my palette. Most likely, the most will be done in the first month or so, while I am motivated. Regardless, I will also incorporate my job search into my plan. I will not remain idle on either front!

Even though today is Saturday, I still woke up with a start and looked toward the digital clock, just sure I was late for work. It will take a while to be de-programmed. I intend to get up at the same time in the morning, though, so that it will not be such an adjustment when I get another job.

I am reminded of my granddaughter Cadence, who, when she spends the night with us, gets up at the crack of dawn and comes to my bed and whispers into my ear, "The sun's up!" When I tell her it's too early to get up, she repeats, "The sun's up!" To her, anything that isn't dark is the sun. Therefore, lack of darkness is sunshine. There is no point in arguing with her. She has had enough sleep and is ready to face the day! At this point in my life, I would like to approach every day with her enthusiasm.
