my new home on the web

I moved:

New beginning. New direction in life. New outlook. Stop by and say hello.

migrating

The light bulb went on this morning. I am suppose to be observing the world and not share myself.

Although this blog has been fun, just like my matchmaking attempts, it has not been all that useful to others. As much as I tried to get people together, it really is up to them to find their own matches. If this blog has served any purpose, it was to remind me of my own ignorance. I am, after all, just a simple person.

So, I will be setting up the new blog this week. I will add that link next.

Thanks for everyone for indulging me. Hugs.

Had a wink moment. Read a quote this morning that cities determine our lifestyle.

I am ready to leave this city because my lifestyle is changing.

Been struggling with the thought of leaving because I worked to cultivate this very comfortable life.

My relationship with this City has reached its limit because I want a simpler lifestyle.

Now I feel liberated. I have to follow my intuition and leave if that is where life leads me.

It's the right thing to do because I feel more at peace. The isolation from self-employment is the natural first step in this transition.

Now that I am working lots, my lifestyle is changing.

It's good timing as many of my friends have drifted out of my life as people naturally do.

In some ways, I welcome the solitude. It's not easy as I am such a people person.

Still, now that I am aware of the changing circumstances, I am better equipped to deal with the emotional responses.

It makes me wonder that how much unhappiness can be lifted if people simply accept life's inevitable changes.

can I have it all

Went to dinner as planned. Getting work done much faster, thanks to a lot of organization earlier in the week.

Right as I sat down for dinner, my manager called and offered me more work. Prayers answered or mixed blessing?

I told him I would think it over the next couple of days.

Now I just need a sign...

life experience

Spent 3 hours trying to fix my internet connection. Am up and running. Good thing I don't need a lot of sleep, or as my contract manager noted after seeing my emails 5 hours apart that I must have good coffee.

Lost time towards deadline. Debating whether to cancel dinner plans.

At least my stunt as acting IT Manager 2 years ago prepared me for this.

Entrepreneurship is good for training this can-do attitude, but am I going to make it doing this or do I always need a paycheck?
