Today I walked away from the security of a job to the open arms of the great unknown. Since I was seventeen I have spent only 5 days unemployed. Although I may have another job in a day or two the truth is I may not, and to a born and breed workaholic that is quit the feat. Right now I am dreaming of bike rides, camping, farmers market, baking and all the lazy little things I never seem to find the time to savor. Maybe I'll finish the 10 books I have started over the past couple of years. Maybe finally letting go and diving in to the unknown is my saving grace. I am not saying that everyone should up and quit their job, but sometimes holding on is all we have and other times letting go is all me need.
I'm not on an internal trans external quest for the higher meaning to life ( I already know what that is in the general sense) but I am closing a chapter in my life. We'll call it my early twenties. I'll be 27 in a couple months and I still can't knit so I know I'm not getting old, but I am sliding in to my skin a little better.
So here's to my late-twenties.... and those bright red juicy tomatoes I'll find at the farmers market tomorrow!

Ah my dear eloquent sister...enjoy your unemployed time. It really is a gift! Savor farmers market, sleep in, read books, have a quiet cup of coffee and talk to God, just sit and think, take walks, make pickles and when the time comes jump back into the work force ready to meet a new challenge. Love you, MB
Good for you!
ENJOY every minute of it!!!
