Today is March 24th, 2012 at 11:46 GMT+8.

Yesterday I have disclosed to my employer the intention to take a 8 weeks sabbatical leave in occasion of my 60th birthday.

I have done the first step of my commitment. The practical aspects to delegate some of my work duties to another colleague shall make part of the learning of the ‘letting go’ process, and to truly trust others. All step programs initiate with an act of acceptance of our own limitations, that no-one is indispensable and no-one is almighty. The remission of my work to another person will be the first step of my detachment journey.

Today I am also experiencing the start of a blog for the first time.
