Much like you and Terri I started out wanting the big career and working like a crazy, studying, pushing myself to be the best at what I did. But you reach that point where mentally you just don't want to do it any more. You wonder how you ended up where you are when you are and how you can get out of it. I am so grateful that I got to take a few years out (does working 8 hours a week count lol), potter round my home, be there for the children - and I wouldn't trade that time for all the tea in China. I do think it's hard when you re-enter the work place not to get caught up in the stresses and the politics and I really do have to remind myself several times a day about what it is I want, and how I chose to live, because you can start being swept along by the hype again. So food for thought - definitely. A timely reminder - certainly. Thank you for putting your heart and thoughts down on 'paper' - I sincerely appreciate them today, especially after a hassled day at the office - I certainly do want to write my own story, and have fabulous friends throughout the pages. Have a blissful kind of day.<br /><br />Love n hugs<br />Shell xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183956259305767381.post-77012903260127948632011-08-22T10:33:30.255-04:002011-08-22T10:33:30.255-04:00I am so convinced where you are is where your supp...I am so convinced where you are is where your supposed to be. It's what I consistently repeat to myself when I prefer doing something else. Glad you got to take some time off and relax your mind a bit. We all need to I think. Have a great week!Beach Coast Stylehttp://www.beachcoaststyle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183956259305767381.post-8659586833866391652011-08-22T09:45:42.539-04:002011-08-22T09:45:42.539-04:00Wow, Shari, it's amazing to me how much of wha...Wow, Shari, it's amazing to me how much of what you're going through I can relate to! I grew up with the goal of establishing a career. After 18 years of that career, I realized it just wasn't what I wanted. So I enjoyed not working and going back to school over the past year. Of course, there are bills to pay, so working again has been a huge adjustment. But it will help us go on those adventures we've been missing, and allow me to continue on the new creative path I set out on a year ago.<br /><br />I love the way you describe your time off as healing. Everyone should have an opportunity to take a sabbatical like that because it really recharges your batteries. Give yourself a couple weeks to adjust to your new schedule, and you will gradually figure out what's most important, and how to fit it into your new schedule.<br /><br />Keep the faith that things will work out while you're following your bliss!Terriawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420615575308397326noreply@blogger.com
