The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that I've spent two years trying to prove a point - to myself and to the world in general. So, as I said last time, I've decided to slow down a bit. As it turns out, it's easier to say than to do. Suddenly, I have so many different projects on the go that I haven't got time to put my feet up with a cup of tea after lunch - or even to have lunch, come to that! However, with the credit crunch, this is probably a "good thing". Eventually, all my part time work will add up to a full time salary - though it has to be said that currently two part time jobs = .25 of a full time salary and 1.25 of a full time job!
Although the work doesn't seem to diminish, I am, at least, managing to persuade myself that there's no need to start work at 7 am and finish at 10 pm. I even take a cup of tea back to bed for an hour once I've fed the dogs at 6 am! I'm also enjoying taking longer walks with the dogs and I don't feel in the least bit guilty about not being at my desk without moving all day!
Being slightly more relaxed about life is definitely a boon - but whether it's to do with having had a serious medical condition or simply the result of growing older is, as ever, a mystery!
