Transition

Autumn is arriving gently so far, which suits me well. I find the transition from the warmth, light and energy of summer, to the cooler, darker autumn days takes some time to be sit comfortably with me.

It’s also a week adjusting to life at home after a wonderful holiday with a lifestyle with which I could have happily continued.

And there’s another change for me too, as this is my first week of part-time working. I applied to reduce my hours over six months ago and it has felt a long wait to get to this point so I’m very pleased to finally be here!

So far I’ve had one of my two days off and I can sense it will be a positive change. But there are of course things to address, like the changed perceptions people at work can have of my aspirations and role, along with the practicalities of workload and remaining integrated in the team. Also of course I want to try to use my newly acquired time as beneficially as possible so I’m considering how to do that. So, there’s plenty going on just now.

Hoping your week is going well.
