Is a week a week?
A new week, so says the calendar. I’m not really on a schedule, but so many others I interface with are on that work schedule which begins today. Mine has no beginning and end. It’s just when I decide to take a break.
It’s somewhat different not having that weekly reset. The weekly staff meeting reviewing last week’s work and the coming weeks ahead hasn’t been part of my life for a few years now.
Those short- and long-term goals list that the manager wanted is long gone and I just add and subtract as I want now. Nobody but myself reviews my performance.
I’ll always be wishing my children a good week ahead on Monday. Asking my better half what we have this week is still pretty much my routine. And wishing my best friends a good week at the job is a Monday habit even before I retired.
The shows on tv sometimes remind me of the day of the week. Doing the daily blog always keeps me aware of the date and day. But the further removed I get from that weekly cycle, the more relaxed and freer I feel.
So, while I wish you all a great week ahead, I’m taking it more day by day and seeing what life brings me.
I haven’t missed the commute back and forth to work at all. But I have become too much of a homebody and need to get out more.
In the background I hear the local news talking about possible snow. I’m going to keep a brighter outlook and ignore that nonsense. I can hibernate for a few more days if needed.
Photography Thoughts of the Day
- Uploading prints to my photo site is pleasing. Making prints makes me happy.
- One of today’s assignments is to finish shooting all the family cameras I have collected. I’ll post them here when finished editing.
- An old camera can take a fine picture. At least that is what I’m hoping, most of mine are old.
- Textures have been appealing to me lately. I ran a few shots of wood this past week. I’m photographing some more.
- I’m going to try to finish reading the book – The Photographers Playbook in the next day or two.
