Jumping into the Future
Yesterday was definitely the first day of the rest of my life.
It was the day I jumped...into the future. The first day without gainful employment.
As of 30 June, I am leaving my long-time career as librarian. I do so with mixed feelings because I have enjoyed many rich experiences in my professional life and have been involved in interesting work with wonderful people. It has been a much valued part of my life.
But other passions and interests are calling me. And I can no longer juggle them together with my library work. So a decision had to be made. You all know about the knitting one. But there are others, too. I don't know yet how they will all fit.
For now, I will be getting my house in order, doing much needed renovations and repairs. And focussing more on my knitting design work and developing my business.
Meanwhile I hope that I can also stay open to whatever flows into and through my life. I wish the same to you...
