Being with people who are inspired lifts you. This weekend I'm going down to London to meet up with friends from an Arvon writing course. One of them, Steff, has a play she directed which is on in Camden. She is an actor who has started to direct and has a very clear vision. She is brave, Money is not always regular. A home of your own is a dream. But she ignores that and carries on.
I did a sensible degree and have had safe jobs all my life. This makes life comfy but not always challenging. The idea of not having a regular income has scared me until this year. Rather than focussing on Life-After-Pension I want to focus on life now. And learn to budget. Be creative with cash and generous with time.
Everyone knows how regimented the school day is. The holidays are fixed years in advance. Lessons all last an hour. Dinner time is controlled by the bell. Meetings last an hour, an eternity. Much is said but little is accomplished. Greedy use of time and energy. But next year a life without bells...
