Having this happen to me rather than choose it - it took a bit to realize the great benefits to owning your time on earth. Have a wonderful journey Trish - I’m happy for you. So many just can’t. Suck it all up ❤️🫂
Good for you. Yes, a very hard call to make, but a wise one. I'm looking for work at the moment myself, after the company I was working for went up in smoke, but I'm trying to not live in the panic and worry and instead also have a "sabbatical" mindset. Interested to hear what you learn as you allow space for Not Work to fill your mind. <3
Trish I was off a full year, mostly by an injury and physical therapy non stop, but it was eye opening. I lost friends , because I wasn’t that person anymore, i re evaluated what I took for granted , I took time for sunsets and sunrises , and most of all decided my health and mental health was worth more than money. I am changing jobs again in a few weeks after another re evaluation since going back and will be working much less hours so I slow down . I admire what you’re doing. It’s important as we journey our 50’s. Living for a job isn’t living.
"Living for a job isn't living." Couldn't agree more!
We always lose friends when we change. As we get older, I'm trying to allow myself to rewrite some friendship scripts. There are things I need to do be ME. Not everyone is going to like it. Some people may opt out. I have to be OK with that.
Best of luck, Deb! More sunsets. More sunrises. Shine on.
