Its been a little over a month since I have been done with the last gig. Or it was done with me. I am getting better at the day to day. Friends of mine are losing their jobs though and that pains me more. It is not necessarily the economy as it is the push for corporations to better their numbers so they can be lean and turn a profit. It is not personal. It feels personal. Just breathing through it takes some stuff out of you.
But onward. I am safe and healthy and so is my family. Perspective they say is critical to mental health. I think perspective is also critical to calibrate your sense of humanity with all that is going on with the world.
In taking stock of what I have I know I will work again. So will you. We are built to task and labor. We are built to solve problems and be more than the sum of our parts.
I wish I could be angry. No sense to it. I wish that I can be useful. But with everything that is going on, just breathing and knowing that I am better off than many. That is all that I need. I will be okay. So will you.
