Making my next time

My job of 23 year ends in 203 days.  203 days.  Over the course of that period of time, I need to get a job to supplement the retirement that I will be drawing from my Sate Farm pension.   Coming to the conclusion that I needed to continue to work took about 2 21/2 seconds after the announcement was made to the 450 of us that share a building.    It's a "no brainer."   So, I find myself in the fascinating position of needing to get in the driver's seat and do all that I can to carve out my next career in the way that works best for my family and for myself.  What about my current job do I want to keep, what do I really want to let go of?  (I think I have earned the right at 56 years old to end a sentence here or there with a dangling participle).  Besides constructing a great resume (thanks to my wonderful nephew, Brian, for all of the help), I also need to feel better about how I will present myself.  I am 50 pounds overweight and want nothing more than to be able to start my next  employment as a fit business woman.   So with all of that I come here to blog about what lies ahead.   I hope it will be a bit of a reflection of what I have done daily, along with lessons learned, and insights.  Today is day 1 of the blog.  Creating this is the big contribution for today...my first step to impact my next time.  This should be fun, insightful, and hopefully, humorous.
Here I go---let's see what happens!!!
