11/1 marks almost the one month anniversary of my last day at Amazon, my road trip in Scandinavia, and the start of my new gig. 11/1 is also the first day of the penultimate month of the year, so it seems like an appropriate time for me to jumpstart this journaling thing again for like, the seventh time.
One of the main reasons why I quit my job at Amazon is that I was really burnt out. For four years, I felt like I put a lot of things on the backburner to pursue my climb up the corporate ladder. Now that my work sitch is more flexible and allows me more downtime, these are the things that I want to focus on & prioritize:
Stay in better touch with family & friends
Live a healthier lifestyle
And be more reflective...
The last point is the one where this ol’ blog comes into play. I want to be more thoughtful about my experiences and what I’m feeling... Too much of the past four years has been a blur, so my goal is to ruminate once a day on here.
Also - QOTD courtesy of the couple sitting next to me at Starbucks:
I don’t understand why that family won’t let their kids trick or treat, but they’re okay with incest. They’re raising their kids in an unhealthy environment.
