I haven't written in long time. So what prompts me to write today? I was laid off from my job of 15 years. It was a shocker to me and most everyone I know, but it isn't a bad thing. I was burned out and longing to be walked out of this hellhole. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a wasted 15 years. I was able to work with my sister and a very good friend that I've known since I was 19. It wasn't always a bed of roses, but I could pick worse people to work with! Along this ride I learned to speak on the phone with confidence, a whole set of Accounting skills that will be marketable until the day that I die, how to take pride in what you do and not let anybody diminish those feelings....no matter what. Every job is important. It all needs to get done and hopefully you can have some ah-ha moments and fun times while doing it.
Now it is time for me to move on. I am taking at least a month off to find myself again. I am off to a good start, because I am enjoying myself, learning about myself, doing things that I love to do, and spending time in silence. As a matter of fact, I leave on Labor Day to take a cross-country road trip to and from Petaluma California. My best friend in the whole world is my destination. I'm interested to find out what I will learn on this two-week journey. Maybe I will write on this blog about it.
For now, I am happy, relaxed, and hopeful. I am learning to trust the Universe with my future, and also myself. Being 47 is kind of fun!
