Life Before Death

I feel incredibly lucky today. Having finally left full time work, I've begun to realise how much it affected me. While I do miss my colleagues, and some of the customers (!), escaping from the politics, office bitchiness, and management who know nothing about the second-hand book trade, has been wonderful. It's a cliche, but it really does feel like a weight has lifted.

The house is gradually becoming less of a pigsty as there's no rush to get everything done on my days off now. As OH is a minimalist, he's enjoying this too! There's time to cook proper meals instead of grabbing instant packet food or ready meals. The dogs especially are loving me being at home more, and I'll be able to start riding Rupert again (I hope!).

2008 was full of ups and downs, but now I feel I'm finally on the right path. Life is blessed, and I feel so grateful.
