Shifting gears

So I stopped working at my full time career job about 3 weeks ago.  While I was looking forward to the day I could stop, now that I have stopped I am realizing just how much decompression will be needed.  Decompression for me involves a sort of vegetative state, I am doing a whole lot of  nothing.  The best nothing is walking,  I have noticed that I am often tired - even sleepy during the day.  Not from activity or work, in fact the opposite.  I am doing almost nothing, and yet am exhausted.  So I set out on a walk, learning to make no commitment to destination or length, just start walking.  It reminds me of Forest Gump, one day he just started running, because he felt like it.  One day I walked over 5 km's.  None of it felt long, or hard, or difficult, I enjoyed all of it.  Just soaking up life, and nature, sounds and smells, sun on my skin, wind in my hair.  Perhaps this is a cleansing.  It is a cleansing.  I feel refreshed a little more each day.
