I’m Back

You may or may not have noticed I took a hiatus from blogging this summer. I broke my right arm, again, and spent May, June, and July in a cast. I became proficient with voice texting; the ability to type has taken longer to master. I still have a way to go with physical therapy, but I’m happy to report that slow, steady progress is happening.

While I was recovering, I evaluated my priorities and commitments. After all, I had plenty of time for navel-gazing. I realized that for someone who is ‘retired,’ I have a lot of jobs. It took some serious soul-searching to help me remember what truly brings me joy. Moving forward, I’m proud to say I’ve made significant revisions to my To Do list. The decisions were not easy, but the freedom I now feel is worth it. Cue Jon Batiste.

While considering which responsibilities to prioritize and which to forego, Matthew suggested my new mantra: “If it’s not Hell Yeah, it’s F*ck No.”
