Ah, yes, retirement (whether early or not) does that.
You can’t stomp down the old demons, they’ll just hide somewhere, to pop up when you least expect it. One way I’ve found that works for me, is write down on some paper what I would like to say to them, re-read it and then destroy/burn that piece of paper.
One of those came up in a nightmarish dream, and I yelled at her (a one time colleague) what I couldn’t say at the time. I walked out into the fresh air and then I woke up.
My most recent dream involved going back for a visit and everyone being too busy to even let me sit in their office. Funny how you spend so much time with people and think you're friends, but it's the work that binds you, not common interests. Lesson learned!
Welcome Joyce!!!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and musings with us!!! Lovely to see your writing pop up on my notes this morning!!! Much love to you 🤗🤗🤗
Serrat is alive and kicking! He only stopped touring
Oh thank you for that info, I could only find a reference to his transition. I’ll update the text.
Of course I think you should continue writing your musings and sharing them. My own experience has been a cathartic one. Thank you do much! ✨✨💖✨✨
Thank you so much for your encouragement Charlotte, I do intend to keep writing and musing. Blessing to you all 💙🙏💫
Fantastic! I very happy to read your work! Stay magical !✨💫💞
Yes! Writing is therapy - early retirement let loose a lot of head demons I thought I'd stomped down long ago.
