"I am running on empty! I really need a vacation! Lol! Lol! Lol!"

I wrote about, 'running on empty,' a year ago, today! 

As a teacher, traditionally summer was my opportunity to find my balance, renew my energy and in other words, refill my tank!

I wrote this today, on the post from a year ago!

"I retired early, because I was running on emotional emptiness! Thank goodness, I am feeling soooo much better, now! 

I am still working through life emotions, however, I am able to work through them now! 

Giving myself space was huge! I have no regrets!"

Interestingly, the universe is presenting me with opportunities and doors to open or keep closed, almost as fast as I think about or speak my pondering thoughts!

I needed to retire in April. 3 quarters in! I needed to heal, to reflect and find my joy!

Yesterday, in conversation about my retirement, I was asked, 

"What about next year, will you go back part-time or sub?"

My answer was vague!

"Maybe! Though, right now,  I am focused on my writing! "

I pondered this question later! I love teaching kids who appreciate the help and wisdom I share with them! I also thought, kids give me opportunities to remember life lessons, which selfisly I can write about!! Kids can be funny, loving and joyful! If my tank is filled and I am emotionally healthy by fall, I honestly would consider going back! Hmmm!

Today, a possible, part-time and/or subbing opportunity flashed upon my screen! Lol! 

My first thought was, 

"Oh universe, that was fast!"

It certainly is worth exploring! 

I could put Arora, my amazing unicorn teaching buddy, back to work!

What kind of miraculous magical opportunities has the universe offered you lately? Will you respond quickly or take the time to explore and ponder all aspects before you respond? 

My dad frequently said: 

The gifts are yours! 

Open them, enjoy them, use them! 

Remember everyday is Christmas!  

 

Manifest a magical day!
