Dream
I have always had a dream to XXXXXXX. (I'll tell you more later about that.) I have been working towards a plan to fulfill that dream, and last night thought that might be put on hold. This morning my parents called and said they supported this dream and I should go for it and stop waiting. They are what is making this possible. I got off the phone with them went for a great walk in the woods and came home to a little hawk sitting on my lawn. So I sit and watch. Then I realize he's caught something and he flies away with what looked like a little mole in his beak. That hawk is me today. I'm going to grab life by the back of the neck and do something great with it.

Relaxed
Today it hit me. Tomorrow I'm not going to work. This is the first Sunday in years that I truly relaxed and didn't fret about 'making the most of my Sunday before my weekend runs out'. So we went to church, I led a Sunday school class, had dinner with the in-laws and took a nap. Took a nap???? Really???? I feel great and very excited to wake up tomorrow. Trying not to pile on too many things to my To Do list, although my mind wants to do all sorts of things. Eva just about exploded when I told her I'd be home all day tomorrow. (She doesn't have school on Mondays.)
Happy Happy.
Happy Happy.

Fortune Cookies
Today is my last day at work. The fortune cookie I had at lunch today read the following: THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR YOU TO TRY A NEW PATH IN LIFE.

Strange
Tomorrow is my last day at work. Friends have taken me to lunch almost every day this week and there's a company lunch tomorrow. My office is completely cleaned out of personal items except for my coffee mug and a pen. It feels very strange. It feels very exciting. What will Monday bring?? I can't wait to find out.

Lessons We May All Learn From
From my friend Bill:
"Don’t plan too much – it won’t turn out the way you’ve planned.
Don’t expect too much – you’ll be surprised when neat things happen.
Don’t figure out the budget too carefully – things change constantly.
Don’t build up a vision of what it will be like – that too will change.
Don’t forget to love and to accept love – it will come at the oddest times.
Accept what happens as it comes – don’t try to analyze it or fix it.
Smile – you’ll often get one back in return."
Thanks for these bits of wisdom, Bill. May we all take something from this, whatever stage of life we are in.

A Long Time...
A friend mentioned to me today that they wondered if I was doing OK. They hadn't seen a new post on my blog in a while. I didn't realize until just now how long it has been. There are very good things happening in my Journey. It is not time for me to publicly post those things, but the time is getting closer and more comfortable for me to be able to do that. My brain and body needed a rest, and so I took a break from thinking for a little while.
Yesterday my family and I packed a lunch and went on a 3 mile hike. It was glorious. The weather was bizarre. Rain, sun, warmth, cold, all within the span of minutes. It was fantastic to be outside with my family, eating lunch in a giant, sunny field and watching my kids make a house out of sticks, rocks and grass. A perfect day.
Tomorrow is another big day. I'll post again soon.
Thanks to all who are following my journey.

Lemonade
Some of us freelance to pay the bills. Some of us have been laid off. Some of us feel trapped in our jobs. Some of us have quit our jobs in search of something better. Let us all be inspired by this movie. LEMONADE.

What am I doing???
Yesterday was my first day of wondering, "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING??". Today I woke up and asked myself the same question and then reminded myself that I want to be happy.
