This is not the end, but the beginning. When I was laid off years ago, I sold off much of my stuff and tightened my belt. I contracted out a few places out of state with mixed results. It was tough working away from my family and flying back all the time for years. I eventually got hired back to my old company and interact with people who have worked in their same jobs who are considered experts after 20-30-40 years. I think people who have never faced any adversity of any sort to be lacking.
Highly recommend the Pacific Trail, would do you good. I've never done it myself, always been too busy at work or in the process of doing something to go.
When I was a contractor in the tech world one company would have a seven week sabbatical every seven years. If I had that, I would definitely do that.
We're near the end of our careers and our lives, what will people remember us by?
Enjoy the journey... Alan!
Best of luck on the journey!
Enjoy the thru hike!
good luck!
