The first week of unemployment was awful. I didn't know what to do with myself or how do adjust. I had no direction. I knew all the things I wanted to do, but couldn't get my body to do it. There was a lot of pacing and wasted time.
I slowly realized how I was coming out of a cloud and being happy again. In the beginning people would say are you enjoying being free. I didn't feel free at first.
There was a commercial during the Super Bowl that I could relate to. This gross looking heart enters the boss' office and quits. It said follow your heart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpVP70U9LDg
I started life that way. Ideally, I think everyone wants to it's just not always possible to live that way. From now on I'm going to be more aware of my heart again. That's how I met my husband etc. My heart has only brought wonderful things for me. I think God is a big part of my heart and after all God is love.
This week I finished reading two novels March and The History of Love. I made a cat, a bunny, quilted half a quilt went to the grocery store and went inside, ( would usually wait in the car) went to a basketball game with my dad, (Cowgirls lost Cowboys won) did a bible study, and went to a Super Bowl Party. Life is filling my lungs again.It's great.
Next weeks novels How to Breathe Underwater, The God of Animals, and Love in the Time of Cholera. Next half of quilt and quilt Charity's. Not to mention a half dozen of much anticipated movies come out on DVD Feb 12th, Becoming Jane, Jane Austen's Club, No Reservations, Dedication. All out in time for a splendid Valentine's Day.
Moment of Truth is on tonight a great new show and an old favorite project Runway. life is good.

Hai Coley! We love you!
I too am newly unemployed. It's weird.
But I have been amazed and pleased by the number of friends who have offered me help in finding a new job. :)
I love the bunny and kitty.

Coley,
I like the animals too! Cute. We got to watch part of the super bowl at Eva's house in CA, so I saw the commercial too.
love love

Oh Coley you should have scrollies! Your written "voice" is beautiful. What lovely language. Of and she makes adorable cloth animals and is a great mom?? can it be done? Apparently. About your heart- everything's always been just fine there.
Love Momma Scovillexoxooxooxo
go, go gadget (girl)! I'm so glad you are doing a blog, and I loved looking at the family history you captured in your Picasa album.
I note a contrast with my photo collection (in the plastic boxes and the albums--hard copies) I don't have captions on the back. They are turning into mystery pics, which one day we can play with for the "I wonder who is that" game.
love,
paga
