This week, I resigned my full-time job at Adobe, and am returning to freelance work. My big idea is to take it easy for awhile, and earn just enough money to get by. The rest of the time, I'll dedicate to taking care of myself, doing yoga, cooking and baking, practicing Zen, going on adventures with friends, and working in my garden.
It reminds me of a line from a two-part TV show 'Crown Prince Rudolph': a doctor told the syphilitic young prince of Austria that he didn't have much longer to live. "If you took up gardening in Corfu, you might live another two years." Sadly, he opted instead for a double suicide with his mistress. But the idea's still a good one: choosing the most restful course of action for a little while, and see what some quiet time can do.
Love and peace to all in these festive holiday times.
