I have just come out of a six month stretch of being trashed by one of my oldest friends because I happen to have moved in, broke, and needing to get on my feet. Brief back story: I resigned from a job 2 weeks ago and plan to spend the next 6 months networking and volunteering, working as close to part-time as possible just to pay the bills.

The first month of the remodel, all our stuff was in the garage. So I don’t like the book. But I have to admit that the farmer has adjusted very well to our being in his house. This is not to say life has been perfect. Do you see this table? And then we sort of got used to it being there and we sort of started living out of the garage.

That challenge could end up being an 18-month period of unemployment! On the other hand, it's not the job of your boss to ensure that you are constantly challenged and engaged; that responsibility also lies directly with the employee. But I digress…awesome blog, as usual. Thanks for making his story relevant to my life!

If anything, the past few months have been an experiment for me about how it feels to blog less. My friend, Maria Killam, put me on to you several month ago when I was starting a new Blog, and she has told me repeatedly what an authentic writer you are, which is evident in all your posts. I am not done. Not saying goodbye.

This seems to be the kind of thing you love: a study by academic psychologists that is published in a peer-reviewed journal. If you're really serious, go find the dalai lama or similar, sit at his feet for 3 months and then right about what you felt. And it says happiness is within your grasp! Rather than thought.

My work is usually challenging and meaningful (I'm an editor of a publishing company in Brazil), but in the past few months I've been missing the state of "flow" that I felt almost everyday. And all of that changes week to week and month to month. It gives you some food for thought.
