Still loving it!
I went back to a “normal” job closing in on 2 years ago. I was freaked out about it, but wanted the perceived benefits. Working from home just wasn’t working anymore. I felt like I was working 24/7, and my family life was crumbling around my ears. Not what I wanted. Family is my highest value.
Fast forward to today…this “normal” job thing is working! Love my job, boss, company, coworkers, and weekends!
One of my favourite sayings has been nothing is good or bad unless you say it is so. And that’s true. I’m pretty sure I made my previous “job” experience worse than it needed to be. And, that’s OK. I learned a lot there, working from home, and with each step in my journey.
I’m taking some leadership classes through my work, and I’m loving that. I’m using my creativity in my job, even though it wouldn’t be considered a position that requires a lot of creativity.
Anyway…talking about the job isn’t that exciting a topic. I’m happy with it, but I’m realizing there are some other gaps I can take care of now that the job thing is working well.
Exploring new hobbies. I’ve always wanted to learn an instrument. As my son plays drums, and my husband plays guitar (and drums), I think bass guitar might be a fun one…and I know of a really great teacher nearby.
There’s a culinary school that does little classes for the amateur chef 😉 that I’d like to visit. They have classes like knife skills and more. Did a class with a group and learned a lot, so I think learning more would be awesome. Food TV is on a lot at our house, so that one seems natural.
Oh, and I just went gluten-free. Not by choice either. After a gluten-binge I ended up with a 3 day stomach ache. Decided I’m tired with my body yelling at me and I just may want to listen. So that’s another thing I’ll be playing with. I’m sure going to miss my vietnamese subs though…until I find a crusty-bun solution.
That’s all for today! Had the urge to write, so I listened. Not sure about that urge though…wasn’t sure what to write so thought I’d just share where I’m at.
Hope y’all are doing well out there in cyberland!
Warmly,
Velma
