For the past six months, I have worked very little. After breaking off the job I played five nights a week for something like 25 years, I was devastated, and really got down. Then my wife told me she enjoyed having weekends with me. She told me not to go back and bury the hatchet, so I didn't.
Now, I'm playing just private parties, and a night every week or so at the country club (literally in my back yard).
I now find that when I do work, I'm enjoying it even more. I'm even trying to become more of a morning person but haven't made much progress yet. I did get up and go fishing at 7 a.m. a couple of times last week though.
I'm absolutely certain I could go out and find more work, but I want to enjoy this change of pace at least for a while longer.
I hope Mark finds the answer that is best for him.
