Back to Work

Next Monday, I will be going back to work full-time for the first time since my job at EV1 ended last December. Certainly I am very relieved about that. But I am a little amazed at how easily I am making the transition back into the "real world" after ten eventful months.

In some ways, it feels like the last 10 months were a dream or something unreal. I totaled my car. I have evolved and have begun to feel more comfortable with my age... with no longer being part of those who are middle-aged.

I am certainly looking forward to being busy and doing constructive things on a regular basis again. I do not like to have a lot of time on my hands.

Somehow, I have the sense that returning back to a more structured life at work should require me to make some kind of transitional adjustment. That is just not happening. Instead this has been a very comfortable and easy segway. Maybe it is because I have changed for the better and taken some hard learned lessons to heart. Maybe it is because my priorities have become more real world and practical. Maybe it is because I no longer allow myself to be the dreamer that I have been for most of my life. Maybe it is simply because I am now ready to move on with my life, instead of running in place.

Whatever the combination of reasons things are what they are, I am ready for what comes next... and that is a welcome change.
