Day 50 - Changes

As this is my 50th straight day of this blog, I thought I would list a few things that have changed in my life since being unemployed. So here goes.

• I no longer set the alarm clock for 5:15 am.
• I clean my house when I feel like it instead of trying to accomplish everything on the weekend.
• I cook more often.
• I have not put a pair of heels on my feet since I stopped working, and I do not miss them at all, ditto to panty hose.
• I read more and at a nice liesurely pace.
• I no longer fill my car up with gas every 4 days.
• I now have time to notice that we have downy woodpeckers who visit our feeders every day right after noon.
• I have worked side by side with hubby cataloging his coin collection and actually enjoyed it, totally surpising to me.
• I have not missed going to the office one bit, however, I do miss seeing some of my coworkers.
• I have enjoyed walking my gardens and noting the daily changes in the growth of the daffodils, crocuses and siberian irises.
• I enjoy being able to help out my kids when they need me.
• I am especially happy that when it is cold, rainy or Monday, I do not have to be on the road, instead I am home enjoying that second cup of coffee, doing the daily crossword puzzle and generally enjoying the start of a new day with hubby - does not get much better than that.

Staying positive for 365 days is a lot easier when you have your hubby making you laugh, giving you hugs and being totally supportive - I am blessed.
