Day off

I AM TAKING A DAY OFF TODAY to do a few things: get my annual blood tests done (I am worried about my cholesterol problem!), "celebrate" the end of my 6 months back to the work force after a 1510-day break (more a commemorative action, really), taking it easy by myself for a day (SM's at work!); and finally, do a mini-review of my life journey.


6 months ago on October 5 last year I wrote my blog post "it is the process of flying and the air journey that counts for me" when I knew I was going to embark on a different phase of my life. This phase is going to take more-or-less 3 years (October 2012 to December 2015).

How did it go? I guess so far so good.

Am I treating myself well?

Am I happy and fulfilled?

Are the people around me better off because of me?

Are there anything else I need to do/wish to do to enhance my sense of achievement for this phase of life journey?

Absolutely.

All relevant questions. But I am relaxed because I am flying in fair weather at the moment although there were in the last 6 months moments of anxiety owing to some storm fronts along my flight path i.e. some health issues and some work-related issues. Nonetheless it would appear it has been an above average journey.


In the next 6 months I like to set some solid goals for the remainder of this phase of life and I have come across this Goal Setting website which seems to offer some good toolboxes.

So there you have it. My review is done, time for a cup of Lavazza and fix up a few minor things in the house.....
