Wow - I've been 'funemployed' now for about 3 full weeks and for the first 2 weeks I was busier than I've ever been. This past week for the week of Thanksgiving - I decided to make the conscious effort to dial back my 'busybody' syndrome. I had a conversation last week after church with a couple who had both taken time off from corporate life. It was in chatting with them that I was encouraged to
truly take a break by dialing back my social media activity, which meant deleting and blocking my access to Facebook, Instagram and (gasp) Twitter!!!
The results - though I feel a little less informed on all things Trump - my anxiety levels have gone down tremendously. I'm taken the week to read a little more - I finally finished reading a sweeping and expansive love story - About The Night by Anat Talshir. I've been reading it for a while now and in my opinion it's long, but beautifully written.
Having the down time this week also gave me the time to watch a few more TV and movies that I haven't had a chance to check out before now -- my recommendations from this week are: Eye In The Sky, Trumbo, Paranoid (though there are some weird tonal issues with this show, but overall it was worth the time watching) and The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975.
This week has made me realize that I have a lot of history to learn and perhaps lots to unlearn. I am thankful that I have this time to spend on the education of Gleana as well as some relaxation and restoration. My little shadow, Ginger has been my best cuddle buddy throughout it all - even the horror of realizing we still have a President-elect Trump to contend with.
I'm also using this time to seek direction about the next steps for me. There is a big change coming and I'm preparing myself.
Mwuah,
Georgia Peach
