I have been going through the motions these past through months of being overwhelmed to the point of tears, followed by this strange sense of satisfaction at just how lucky I am to have everything that I do in my life. I began a new career earlier this year and the transition has definitely taken its toll on my emotional, and physical self.
I allowed myself 3 months to get saturated in the role that could very well dictate how I earn a living for the rest of my life, and well, writing this blog had to take a back seat for a little while. In saying that, I could not have timed things better, and by that I mean, letting go of an emotional burden that had been with me for years. Honestly, not having the burden of trying to please unappeasable parents was the saving grace that allowed me to focus on my wants and needs over this new year. And to ensure that I was making a choice for my future, with my well being as my sole consideration.
So in summary, my three months of sink or swim at work are over, (I think I just may be a swimmer) and I will get back to posting regularly. Thanks to all of you who checked in on me during the lull. And thanks truly to all those who continued to look through some older posts even though there was no new content for a while. I am back, energized, and have some great material in the works. Oh, and in case any of you were wondering, I am now a machinist and run a few wire EDM machines. I get to actually write a program, imput it into a machine and physically create something when I am done! It is tough work, but so far incredibly rewarding.
