Day 6
Woke up feeling irritated and grumpy. I have been trying to shake off the negativity all day. My normal sunny and happy disposition is a bit cloudy. I can feel it in my bones and hear it in my voice. Finally decided to have a picnic lunch. Getting some fresh air might help improve my…

Day 5
I became a librarian nine years ago. I have been at my current job for exactly five years to the day. I was in management for years in a job I hated. The stress was literally physically and mentally killing me. So I simply put my health and happiness first. I quit my 64k a…

A Bright future
Every year I decide on a theme for my work and a goal for my life. 2019 it was simplify. 2020 was focus. Now is the time to think about what you want to accomplish next year and work toward that goal. Ask yourself some of the questions I’m asking myself. What is important in…
