The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old,
but building on the new.
Socrates
I've haven't written much because I'm on medical leave, and much has accelerated. I'm not returning to my job. After much consideration, it has been decided I will "retire" from healthcare. I have to use this terminology to allow me to keep certain things I will need as I move forward. I have two job possibilities lined up when I'm cleared to work again. And I will be working from home. Both will allow me to work only part time for about the same salary as I was earning before. This will leave me with much more freedom to pursue other interests.
Teagan just turned 6 months. It has been a joy to have her by my side.She has become my emotional support animal, without the official documentation to declare her as such. We have bonded and she has helped me get through some of my unexpected health issues and provided me with laughter and love. We went to the Sierras yesterday and she loved nature. So there will be more trips in the future.
Change is moving me forward and new adventures are awaiting.
