Part Time Peace

What a whirlwind of change! Congrats shout out to Rita for being awesome and embracing this big move to the UK!

I just finished my graduate degree and am trying to embrace the complete unknown that sits before me. I spent a month celebrating my family and friends by traveling home and beyond then went wedding hopping two weekends in a row. Looking back on this time I know it was time well spent and a great reminder of all of the love in my life.

Now I have the space for reality to settle in. The real gravity of unemployment is here and now it's time to figure out how I will apply my time and skills to projects/jobs I care about. I expect this to be a period of being under-valued/underpaid until I find the right kind of lucrative job.

Surprisingly I'm really happy as a volunteer grant writer and project coordinator in the part time. I have the time to stay healthy and play in the summer sun. It'll be a short period of underpaid-bliss but for now it's great and I'm at peace with ME.

It's one big balance game when you really look at it. You have to decide which things you're willing to give up your freetime for and what you're willing to do to pay the bills... it all evens out in the end.
