Reality Check

I can't believe that I have been in this grown up world now for almost a year and a half! Where has the time gone! I am still "learning" new things about being a grown up everyday! I am learning that first jobs aren't always what they are cracked up to be, that even when the student loans are almost paid, there will always be a new bill to take it's place, etc. I am also now contemplating on whether or not I should go back to school...a part of me wants too, to get away from my job and go back for teaching, or get my master's. Shoot, I have even thought about going back to be a nurse, but I just don't know if I could handle that! But if I go back to school that means more student loans...trying to find a part time job to still pay for bills, and I am sure the list would grow. In my spare time I look for other jobs...but right now, especially in this area, the market isn't great. The last few weeks these are the thoughts in my head...and as I read this...I am disgusted. I would first like to thank my family and friends for listening to me...but most of I want to apologize.

I have no reason to whine and complain. I am blessed in so many ways it is amazing! I have a job...a job that might not be great, but they are going to give me two weeks off before Daniel deploys! I have more material possessions than I will ever need. I live in a country where I have freedom. I have family and friends who listen whenever I call or need to talk. I have met my soul mate, my best friend. I love him with all my heart forever and always...and the best part...he loves me too!

So for the time being I will quit thinking...and just enjoy this truly beautiful life I already have.
