Well, we’ve gotten a lot accomplished in the past year: major operation and rehabilitation; selling property; buying property; building a custom home; moving twice; a few little vacations. We finally hit the long-awaited “settling in” period. We’re healthy. We’re happy. Life is good.
And then I recently got a phone call from a former boss of mine (the really good one, not the really bad one).
Would I consider working part-time through the end of the year and help them out? Some long distance travel to their office would be required, but mostly I would work from home.
When you are not seeking work, but a nice opportunity lands in your lap, what do you do?
Well, I chuckled a bit, thought what the heck, and said yes. I guess it’s a sure sign of going bonkers! I’m chalking up this unexpected adventure up as a little surprise gift from heaven and figure that I am supposed to accept.
The bad news for you, my sweet blogging friends, is that I may not be posting and visiting quite as often. Sorry! But I’ll still be hanging around the blogging world as time permits, sharing stories and photographs in the day ahead.
And I start the consulting job on Monday…
Well that is kinda sweet to have a job drop into your lap and really very affirming. All the best and I hope that you are able to eke out some time now and again for Blogland.
ReplyDeleteI think it makes all the difference if you're doing it because you want to not because you have to. Best wishes and enjoy yourself. Look forward to any posts you have time for.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new 'project.'

ReplyDeleteGood for you. Don't work too hard!
ReplyDeleteWell what interesting and happy news. It has been quite a year for you, hasn't it.
ReplyDeleteAs I am still working and retirement is three years in the distance, I know blogging time can be difficult to come by but I'm sure you will squeeze it in now and them. Look forward to hearing a snippet or two from your on-going journey.
Best Wishes and stay safe!
It sounds like a crazy year to me. I admire you for just getting through it. Moving would be the death of me, let alone doing it twice. I can't imagine.
ReplyDeleteAmazing with the job in the current market and with a boss you already know and like. How sweet is that! Good for you.
there is never a dull moment in your life, i expect this is another peak to the many accomplishments you have made..congratulations!!..your boss knows a keeper when she sees one!
