Frozen | The Semi-Retired Life
http://thesemiretiredlife.com/frozen
Seasonal or Contract Work. April 13, 2016. Take a look at this turtle will you? That position he/she is holding, one leg forward one up in back…he/she held it frozen for several minutes while I loitered on a bridge above snapping photos. Maybe “it” hoped I would think it was just another sculpture among the many in this park? Maybe it figured if I was a predator I might not notice it if it didn’t move. Kind of like a dinosaur. Jump into the water? Except this guy. Frozen. My buddy. Or do I acquiesce to t...

Amazing how the universe works that, isn’t it? What did I learn during my year of building my semi-retired life? And how can what I learned be helpful to you?

Choosing Gratitude | The Semi-Retired Life
http://thesemiretiredlife.com/choosing-gratitude
Seasonal or Contract Work. February 18, 2016. So…just before Christmas we got a dog. A puppy, actually. She was ten weeks old when we adopted her from a shelter group. My son had been begging for a dog, a puppy specifically, for YEARS. My husband didn’t want to take it on. But, I felt a pull that it was the right thing to do. In the midst of this, in my excellent Leonie Dawson planner, one of the goals I set for myself in 2016 was to be more grateful in general. And specifically for what I HAVE. I’...

I’m not sure I fully realized how much those “free” weeks that teachers get during holidays and the summer are actually COMP time for the insane hours the job requires during the year. I am not doing ANY creative work at all – the blog, art, photography, writing fiction…NOTHING. So, then,. At what price to me.
