I can feel the quietness out there. More importantly I can feel the quietness inside me.
After the craziness of wedding planning,
after the magic of the day itself,
after moving house,
after some traumatic events that  I'll tell you about another day,

... everything is back to normal. And this is a good thing. For now.


I'm enjoying autumn, quiet evenings. The peace, the stillness. Soon I'll be restless again. I can't stay still for too long. And I'm already looking forward to the madness of Christmas, the excitement and possibilities of the New Year. But for now, this peace is all I need.

  4. I know how you feel, it's a strange peacefulness after months of flurry and activity.....it's wonderful to get back to a new normal, and then look ahead with more exciting things to do and plan and look forward to :)

  6. I remember that feeling, of newlywed peace, when the neverending to-do list was done, and we finally got to look around, and breathe, and enjoy.
    Glad you're back.

  10. Autumn is often a hectic season for me but I am finally enjoying a slower paced autumn because I am MUCH more peaceful inside than I have ever been in a looooong time!

    I am happy to hear that you are enjoying some peace too.

    Let us know what kind of things you are planning to do when the restlessness starts ;-) Let's see if I can keep up with you...especially since I have decided that this winter I am going to finish my first draft of the story that I have been writing for ages!

    all the best to you!

  13. I'm a recent college graduate who mere hours ago got a rejection email from a ticket taking position at a local theater. So things aren't going so well for me and the work I've be able to get after a year of searching has been free (internships and volunteering - which I've taken gratefully) and low (babysitting and house-cleaning - which I've also taken). I have long-term relationships with several local businesses who can't take me on, and a full, http://www.y8.fm relatively impressive resume with notable references

    (household names), but a year or so out, I'm able to see that my 3.8 B.A. http://www.friv.gs in political science isn't worth much. Maybe it shouldn't be worth very much. Anyway, stuck, I've been trying to think of what my next move should be after hundreds of failed applications. I have a list in front of me now: at the top there's reception work. http://www.y3.fm.
    This is the reality for many college grads out there now; http://www.ben10.fm no new jobs were added to the U.S. economy in the last month. And I read your
    posts about, essentially, Just Doing It, and I think, "Yeah! Just do it! That's what I'll do!" I've got the number for Merry Maids on my notebook
    http://www.miniclip.fm, http://www.y8on.com, http://www.y3home.com
    right in front of me. Where does that leave me in ten years? I'll tell you where: a Merry Maid. I wonder what kind of on-the-job training I get cleaning toilets... (You think I haven't tried hard enough, don't you?)Ok, so you think grad school is a really, really bad idea. When I first started reading these anti-grad school posts,

    I was still in undergrad and I whole-heartily agreed (I don't know what I based this agreement on; I guess I had the idea that grad student = loser, forever student). Now these
    http://www.y8online.com, http://www.pogo.gs, http://www.y8o8.com
    arguments hit me as sort of ill-informed, and maybe all that is needed to fix that up is a distinction. From what I understand, there are different programs in grad school, it's not just

    one program called "waste of money and time." http://www.kizi.ws http://www.y8america.com, creative writing, English. And there

    are the scientific, technical, and healthcare-related
    programs, http://www.y8xmas.com some of which are funded and include position-focused training and post-grad, structured employment.
