What a wonderful post. This resonated with me today as I really need to focus and have many decisions to make, including clearing my work area invaded and conquered by piles of books. I'm going to regroup, right this minute, and get things done!

I just lost a job due to rstructuring of a small company a few weeks ago. I'm getting in to my late 40s and reacted a lot differently than I would have, had this happened 20 years ago. I just spent the last few weeks gardening and reading, along with taking my son to the beach for a few days. I did look for work, and trying to find something new, but didn't obsess over it. Someone came to me from another small business that I've had a lot of respect for, with the offer of a job they created specifically for me. I'm learning that sometimes you have to take a deep breath and let the path show itself to you.
