What's Next?

A notebook entry published on November 1, 2003

12:35 PM

I’m going to be asking myself that a lot over the next few months. All of the sudden, I’m at this crazy juncture in life. Sometime after the New Year, I’ll no longer have a day job. My wife and I bought a new house (albeit just a few blocks away) and will be moving at the end of the month. And there are possibly a few other exciting things happening on top of all this.

There are so many directions to go, so many things to consider. It’s all exciting and positive, yet at the same time overwhelming.

So, hopefully postings here won’t suffer — but if I sound incoherent now and then, you now know the probable reason.

I am so envious.
That amount of freedom would be heaven to me.
Your are a lucky person :-D

Yep, it can be scary. However, many people believe we only get to go around once, so don’t be afraid to make the most of it. Life is way too short to live in fear of it.

Party on! Pat

As BC5000000 suggested, write a book — it’d be great fun and a great learning experience for me (and for you too I’m sure)

Hang in there Dan. I’ve been through the exact thing you have… TWICE :) It makes you question your talents, it makes you take stock of what you really want to do, it makes you MOVE TO LAS VEGAS for 6 months for crying out loud! (oops, sorry, tangent).

Anyway, a man of your OBVIOUS talents… shall land himself another job. Hey, I just moved into a new house too! Yay, stress is fun! ;)

Take care

Tom
