My dear friend Susan reminded me that it's now 5771, a new year on the Jewish calendar.
"It's a new year with a new start," she told me, as I relayed the details of my "resignation meeting" with my boss.
I'm only an honorary Jew, but I will take the new year's celebration nonetheless.
Today is sorta the first day of my new life, even though I have a few more weeks of work at the old job. To start off the new life, I had a wee-touch of insomnia. Not bad...I slept most of the night. But I woke up around 5 a.m., which is highly unusual for me.
My dear dog, Dior, has a special sense about me. He can tell when I'm awake. And boy, does he ever take advantage of it.
So out of bed I got at 5:30 at Dior's insistence. As with every morning, I took him for a pee and a poop. But this morning, in the pre-dawn calmness of my neighborhood, I decided to treat him to a walk around the neighborhood.
I have to say, it was really nice enjoying the quiet darkness. Maybe there's something to this.
As we walked together, I thought about changes that I can make in my life now that I will be my own boss and won't have to adhere to anyone's schedule (other than whatever client demands I have to balance).
"What can I get done in early morning hours?" I pondered.
I'd already decided that I will start working out in the mornings with Andy, rather than my evening training sessions.
I could also blog. What a novel concept!
By the way, it's 6:30 a.m. EDT.
