Day 20

It’s the fourth Nor’easter. For some reason it keeps happening on a Wednesday. Everything was closed down. But this is the day I am going to publish this blog live. I am quite proud of myself, because I had to learn WordPress. A whole new skill and language. I bumbled a bunch to get here. But I bought a theme with good customer support so I have had a lot of help. Learning WordPress was part of the reason I decided to do a blog. And to give any 50-something hope that it all does not have to end when you lose your job. There is time for reinvention, if you want it. Life throws many twists and turns and it is up to you to handle it with strength and humor. Sure, I could panic that in 100 days, there is no job for me. But I am not going to think that way. I am enjoying every day off and learning/exploring all the things I had no time for previously. I read a book on compost! Ha! It’s a journey to find something that suits me {my family} better even if it means we have to move or rearrange our life.
