Transistions

 Learning to get through the transitions is half the battle. I think, it is a lot eaiser when you recognize thats whats happening early. At least, seeing things for what they are can make it less stressful walking through the steps.

My experience has been that life is a series of transistions, platues, and changes. I can see that those people who are most happy in life, are able to recognize and manage those stages the best. I think it takes the most life-skills to identify and move through the transitional stages. Probably, because the transitions happen before and after changes.

Recently, I have had an impactive change. Due to my hand-problems that started in January 2022, after remote working about 20 hours a week due to covid, I have had to work all 40 in the office. It has been a long several months! And, really impacted my life-balance. My work balance has been center of attention for just about a year now. I achieved the goals needed in my work, my hands are never going to be the same, and starting this week-I only have to go to the office on Tuesdays. Last week, I was approved for the change I requested and will remote for 30 hours a week now! 

There was transition leading up to the change and now, there will be transition starting on Monday morning. The time I used to get ready and get to the office in the morning I can now use in a different way. I have the opportunity to make a huge life-balance change. I just need to transition effectively. I am all in!

New - New Memories

I had a very long story published in this space, before. When it was here – it was mine to tell, and a huge reason why I was able to do my best and be strong, no matter the hand I was dealt. I still love my reasons for this blog title…. Not sure if anyone even uses a blog anymore. Sometimes the old and familiar format is a great place to start a New Memory.

Once in awhile, the story of the life we are living is not ours to continue to share to the world. I respect that. At the same time, I can imagine a few of my old friends, and readers of this blog might spot-check what is published today. Thank you, to all of you who gave me some moral support when things were unbelievable in my little circle of life at the time. Everyone, including Jane in Australia were apart of the new memories I was making during the most difficult calling of my life.

I have come to recognize that eventually every new memory becomes an old story. Some are not my story to tell with the same words I used while I was living them. Growth, and progress means not living in the past when there are still new memories to be made.

So, here I am – my next birthday I will be 60! Only my oldest friends from childhood, can say the same. A few cousins can relate. What a long strange trip it has all been. And I do not in anyway feel my age! Which has been a little scary given I am single. I am a single rock-n-roll, mosh-pitting, heavy metal, nana of 3, full time business woman, who likes to serve pie and coffee for exercise and tips… I am not going to slow down until I have no other choice. It has always been all about pacing in my life. I am the tortoise I will get to the finish line just fine and I will take it as it happens.

I cannot wait to add things to my New – New Memories Blog.
