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.

  1. I feel the same way about the career aspect of my life, and I've been out in the grown up world for almost five years now! You'll eventually find your "cup of tea," but in the meantime keep that optimistic and grateful outlook you have.
