Good morning and happy #Tuesday #NOSTR Fam!

I was up before the alarm this morning, awoken to a breezy, cool 65 degrees in the #Keystone state. My kinda weather. LOVE IT!

Another long one my friends. Bookmark it and maybe come back to it when time is on your side.

So, as some of you may know, I left my job of 16 years last month. However, with the exception of my sisters and some close friends, I've for the most part kept that news to myself until this past weekend.

As this new news circulated throughout my broader family and some rather more distant social circles the last couple days, it's been really interesting what the different reactions were from some folks. Some were supportive, others were funny (TPS reports and the Matrix type references) and from others I was like "wat-da-f@k".

One cousin was like, "do you need some money?! I got you cuzzo". Haha. He's is the cannabis sector and this is not very popular with what one might consider a conservative Catholic family. But he's handling his business and so I got much respect.

So, what are my next steps?

I am building a new company. I don't yet know what products or services this company will sell. I've also not written off the possibility of acquiring an existing company. I am open to any possibility of paths.

I've given myself a year to figure it out, well, about 10 more months to be exact.

So what has kept me so mentally occupied this last month, one might ask?!

I have been spending as much of my week, doing things that bring me joy and peace in the places that I enjoy.

Much of that so far has been doing chores on the property in which the trailer is parked. The place (almost 12 acres) has gone woefully neglected during the years.

The physical work makes me feel good and at the end of the day, I can usually, visually measure the work that I've accomplished.

When things cool down in the fall, I plan on getting up to the North #Maine area and spending a few months there. I love Maine in the fall leading into the winter. My body feels healthiest in cool climates. I am most energized and productive in cool climates. I'll be desperate for some of that by the time I get through this summer working in the fields.

I don't hate heat, but I'm one of the rare few that only enjoys the summer months when I'm at the pool or the beach. That translates to about 5-10 days out of the summer which I usually satisfy when I visit my folks and sister number 1 in the #Sunshine State.

Well enough brain diahreah for this note. Off to finish the rest of this mornings hike with the pooch.

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading, I appreciate you and may you have as terrific of a Tuesday as I plan to have.
