The First Day of the Rest

This is just an update as I haven’t really got much declarative to say today.

I’m back! I made a start. I made my first tentative steps into my new life and did the first basic things I was hoping to do.

I allocated focused time to focused projects and measurable work got done - so that seems like it will work. More to the point, it was absolutely joyful and I just loved living it.

I had gotten a bit focused on relationships & social matters towards the end of my break, so it makes sense that those would be less important today, except for fuelling artistic and mental endeavours.

I am going to have to be really smart with my time to pack in as much of the other around-the-garden tasks in alongside the main fun juicy project work. I feel like I have an unending list of stuff to be done but: it’s day one. Let’s not get overwhelmed just yet. I have systems in place to deal with all of that in time, trust the process, tweak the systems.

Tomorrow will be completely different and I love that about this life. I am only responsible for myself and my own outcomes and I love that too. I am not going to get tired of this or run out of energy and I no longer have to plan to take days off at the weekends as I’ve noticed already that I’m happier doing this work than when I was on my break, although I admit that the break was very necessary. So that’s a good sign that I am happy with the life I’ve created for myself.

And tomorrow will be different! And wonderful again, no doubt. I am learning each day. There will be days when I have more energy to tackle more things. Today I allowed myself to be lost in the wonder of it all.
