Apples on the tree
no knitting for the pass few days. I've been preoccupied by DH acting out his stress. So perhaps a detour into the non-crafty life...
... I have been actively looking for gainful employment - 9 mos+. I am feeling very weary, complete opposite of this fruitful tree. This morning I woke up 'writing the Christmas Letter" in my mind - sorting through the feelings and thoughts, and wondering how will this year end. Media and news stories of "great recession" not withstanding, I've had a lot of brain cells to be (more) introspective. My thoughts often turn to a) this is the longest I've been "not-working" since I was 14 b) what more can I do to increase my chances of a job c) how best to use my time d) how this recession have changed me, and others e) meritocracy, fairness f) identity, relationships, family, and communities
At this moment, all of these thoughts are all tangled in my mind. For now, I am going to let them go, stay balance, positive, and upright. Perhaps I will revisit them (or they will haunt me!) when time comes to write the Christmas Letter.
