I was unemployed for 8.5 months during 2002/2003 due to the recession and IT and dot com crash. I knew it was coming, so I set out to enjoy it. It was only an attitude. I didn't want my time off to be a memory of anxieties, but instead to embrace it as time off. [Ignoring the without pay aspect.] The first six months were great. After that I got tired of it and my countenance crumbled. Lots of 'God stories' came out of it, including the crumbled countenance period.

My contract ends March 1. I have no idea what the future looks like. My Plan B is a useless plan and I am trying to devise a Plan C. I am also trying to regain the attitude I had in 2002. Don't worry. That won't accomplish anything good. Find enthusiasm. Be excited. One day at a time. Pray for guidance.
I also recommend reading the Old Testament. There are some really wild stories in there.

Peace and Blessings to you and your wife. The world is your oyster.
