Job (no)

Had I still had the job I would have missed out on the time spent with my wife as she is busy from 8 am till 9 pm daily. I would have never discovered my creative potential. I would have never become regular in riding a bike. I would have not lost this much weight and feel so hard and strong all the time. My body would have never healed or repaired itself if I had not gotten this important and vital break from the back breaking, daily monotonous routine, energy sapping – 9 to 5 ‘job’.
