I thought of something to write about as I was falling to sleep. It was perfect! I knew for sure that when I woke up this morning, I would be able to sit down at the computer, and type it all out in record-breaking time.
Well, things don’t always work out like I plan. I have no idea what I was thinking about last night, and I’m sure that what I am writing right now, has nothing to do with my previous thoughts.
However….
I saw someone from my past today, and I was once again reminded of a choice that I made a little over a year a go, and I am so thankful that I took that step and made the choice to move in a new direction!
The choice to leave a job that I had for over seventeen and a half years!
It was scary in the beginning, and I wasn’t sure where I was going, even now there are times when it’s all a little foreign to me, but I am confident of my decision, and I have no regrets.
Like the quote says, I have brains in my head!
And with the love and support from my husband, (who is my very best friend), I am more confident today of who I am and where I am going, than I have been in a very, long time.
I believe it is the reason writers keep a notepad by them at all times (counsel of perfection here!) so they can record those fleeting thoughts and ideas before they disappear into the ether! Good for you making the change. Great itsn`t it? I`ve changed direction several times in my life (nay many times) and it has always been first of all a challenge (which I enjoy) but also a benefit.
Thanks for the tip…A notepad it is!!
I do love the fact that I’ve made the change,…now! I’m not a person who really likes change all that much, so it took a long time to reach the decision. I only wish now, I would have made it earlier. Oh well…it’s still a good life!
I completely understand what you mean about your husband. When I made the decision to leave my job, before I officially announced doing so, my husband was the first person I talked to. He is my rock. He grounds me and if he looks and me and says “do it.” then I know it is right and that I am not just having an emotional reaction.
Your new journey will be a good one. You were led to do what you are doing and by following your instincts you can’t fail.
Best of luck! 🙂
Thank God for awesome husbands! I’m so glad you have a great one too! 🙂
