Hello again world. I am still here, though there have been some major changes…
which is also why it took so long for me to get back into the groove.
Mom passed, though that was no surprise. I retired at the last possible second in 2023, worked 23-4 parttime because there was no one else to keep the school’s paperwork up to date, and now I finally have reached retired, and feeling it. Now I only work when called to sub.
Why retire early?
Aside from the paperwork adding stress to the day that is unnecessary… and those random but lasting little things that have changed my momentum… like breaking by ankle because the snow gave way…. how dumb…psh.
Did you happen to see posts that circulated early 2023 regarding how many hours of our life we work, versus spend time with our family, or our goals?
I saw the post, almost – if not – daily, and I had debated tapering back my hours so I could write more. Once I really realized how much my ankle – and all those other stupid little things – had slowed me down, I jumped ship. I could be more set, but not more content. It has taken another 18 months to find my way, but I am getting sorted. I finally feel like I can focus on editing and writing. My time is spent – all too often – staring at my phone or tv – but it is my time. It is creative time as I listen to stories in book or visual form, and I am expanding my idea for my tales.
I am still on the fence as to whether I continue the focus on angels among us, or if I begin another path. If you have thoughts … the 5 or 6 of you that stop by – share them. I am all ears.
Hope you all are well this fine January night.
Good morning, Goodnight wherever you are!
Kathleen
