Talk about Scary!

 "  I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter."

 ~ Walt Disney

After reviewing the upcoming calendar and how it will impact my life yesterday , I was ,to say the least, a bit caught off guard.

 I started delving into just what the time period between mid- August to October 1st would actually look like.

During that 6 week period , I will actually miss 15 working days,.

Basically half of my pay will be gone.

I'm going to need a part time job to keep afford my part time job!

While I was concerned at first, I have made the choice to embrace the situation,live in abundance, and begin the process of searching for the golden nuggets that absolutely must accompany this opportunity.

I haven't exactly found any of them yet, however I know that they are out there somewhere.

At first I considered using a couple of days around Sukkot to grab a mini get away for Susan and myself.

Of course, that takes money and considering I am losing almost a month's income , that is not a prudent idea.

I am sure that there are and will be other opportunities.

It's all a bit too new and fresh for me to really formulate a specific game plan.

Never being comfortable with down time, I am having a bit of trepidation around these extended periods of inactivity.

It was just the other day that I found myself reflecting on the fact that it was nearing that time of year when in the past, I would be bracing for the long and arduous Halloween temporary store season.

It has been 8 years since my trip to the U.K. for Halloween, and 7 years since I last worked at Halloween retail.

Still after more than 2 decades of running myself ragged during the months of July, August,September, October and into mid November, my internal clock still begins to tic.

15 days off in August and September. 

Preposterous!

I am having a bit of uncertainty as I approach this opportunity.

Change is often scary .

It was Elanor Roosevelt who is quoted as saying:“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

Time to absolutely frighten myself!

Shabbat Shalom!
