bite my tongue

One of the biggest lesson from my spirtiual class is to just listen.

I have this habit of just talking so much that I overwhelm people. I am learning to talk less and just let people be. That quality is probably my father's best parenting skill.

this is my life

Met up with two friends for lunch today. One of them worked at Genetech since 1995. The other just started one month ago. The newbie was showing the other friend an alternate commute route because she has been trying out all the different shuttles and public transit combinations.

Both friends were supportive of my unemployment. I am calling it mandatory sabatical now, because it feels very much like a time of renewal.

I feel quite happy because life is just more of the same routines. I meet up with friends, go to markets and Farmer's Markets, cook, read, play sports, and go to the gym. My life is almost the same as before, minus working. Other than missing the purpose of working, I have not felt deprived. It's good to know that my life is good the way it is.

So the job will happen soon enough. It's good to want nothing and to be exactly where I need to be right now...
