Re-cast

I know that I will not always feel like this, but I start today - my first true day as an ex-PO - with a sense of elation and freedom that is almost euphoric.

For everyone else, including poor Annie, it is the first day back after the Easter weekend.  But I have the freedom to choose what I do, and (so far) the health and financial security to put my ideas into practice.

I want to achieve a balance between spontaneity and structure, and believe that it is very important that I have a clear idea of what I want to achieve, rather than just drift.  I want to know when I go to bed what my plan is for the next day, but also have the flexibility to change things if I feel like it.

I have pages of ideas, including some big projects.  But today it's a simple plan:  cycle to meet a friend in Glastonbury for coffee, do some errands in town, sort out supper and then return to read.  How good does all that sound?
