I'm Not a Quitter / Question of the Week #3
So can I tell you something that's not really a secret (it feels like one) but is just really weird for me to say, before I give you the question of the week?
{Big sigh.} I quit. I'm not a quitter, but I quit.
As in... I resigned from the job I've had for one year. I work for a really really great place, with talented people, who do awesomely creative printing, and who have all the forward-thinking potential I desire in an employer. And yet, I up and quit.
Am I in the throes of a mid-life crisis? No. Yes. Maybe? I'm actually not sure. All I know is that I needed to make a change, because it wasn't working for me. I'll share more on this later, but I wanted you to know that I don't pretend to have the answers, I just like asking the questions. And answering them, too. I'm on a mission to align who I feel I am on the inside with what I "do" on the outside.
Here is Question #3 : If you had a whole day to yourself, to do anything you wanted....how would you spend it?
(Don't be practical and think that you have to take a vacation day to do this, or get a babysitter to watch the kids for the day so you can make the most of it, just think a whole day for you, a "free" day-- to do whatever YOU want. What would you do?)
Here's what I'd do:
- I'd walk and/or do yoga in the morning
- I'd catch up on facebook, and twitter and lots of blogposts I don't have time to read
- I'd cook something yummy
- I'd clean the house so it sparkled, unless I was at the cottage...then I'd be out in the sun or behind the boat as soon as possible
- I'd write; a blogpost, a feature article, something
- I'd read, take notes, and learn
- I'd have friends and/or family over for dinner and karaoke (as long as my kids were there to sing with me)
- I'd hold hands with my husband, cuddle and smile, a lot
I'm good with low-key and slow. With time to breathe. And to think. And to create. And to appreciate.
I can't wait to hear what you'd spend your free day doing.
