The header image is a variation on the preceding image. If you do not see an image of an arch washed by early morning sun then click on the post title. I wanted to include these two images to remind myself of the degree of change that is possible. This applies not just to external phenomena. It applies equally well to the personal dimensions of one’s world. I need to believe in the possibility of positive change.

One of the topics that keeps me awake at night is the attempt to foretell my own future, to identify what may come next, to try and gauge my response and identify an appropriate adaptation to the vagaries of existence. Don’t allow yourself to be rear ended is rule number 1.

At some point in the past I attempted to set out the elements of a weekly plan. This prior effort collapsed. I cannot remember the reason the plan failed. But the intent was a good one and I want to resurrect the idea.

To date I have sent out two proposals and I have received one letter in response. The letter says very little. I do not think I can count on that opportunity coming to fruition.

The first proposal went out on June 26th so almost a month has elapsed between transmittal and receipt of the non-committal reply. I need to put more irons in the fire.

Having been responsible for employee recruitment, I suspect I will encounter employer resistance once I admit to having suffered a brain injury. It would be pointless to attempt to conceal the fact of the injury. At the same time, any mention of injury will likely present a severe obstacle to locating work. I have been thinking of how to deal with this issue. My one thought is to obtain a letter of referral from both Dr H and Dr D. Since I have little faith in my own estimate of my abilities, I think it may be beneficial to provide prospective employers with a pair of objective 3rd party assessments.

Also, I need to devote some time to a consideration of appropriate employment venues. Ideally, I should like to return to the original objective of this blog which was to provide guidance and serve as a resource to others.
