Being Re-Organized

Tweet

I have returned from the depression that happens when you get re-organized unexpectedly. There is a light at the end of that tunnel; you just have to crawl out from under the rock to see it. I now have all the time in the world to pursue all the dreams I dreamed, only with a lot less moola. I was utterly amazed of how much of my persona was my job. I measured everything on the position I had at work. It determined who I could associate with, and when I had leisure time(are you kidding?), how to dressed, what I could say and couldn't say. The realization hit me that it was probably the worst, best thing that ever happened. I abandoned everything that was truly important to get corporate approval and advancement. That is really a sickness and I know I am not the only one affected with this type of illness. I have finally conquered the what to wear if it is not a suit, what to make myself for lunch, what to do to fill up my morning, afternoon, and what to do when not in traffic anymore. It seems so simple to figure out, but after 30 plus years of doing it all, habits are hard to re-adjust. Today and the rest of the days will be a new cause for me, redefining my individuality, new creativity, and joy in life again. This is my new mantra, "Lets Carpe some Diem Today". Any others in the same boat?
