hi
how is everyone?
I've been suffering from blogger's block for quite some time now. Maybe it could be that I've become entangled in the mundane drone of life. To coin a phrase, I've been Rip-van-Winkled, alseep and unaware of the passage of time. But now I'm awake, seeing the stagnation sufficating me and giving no path other than a circular one. And I've worn it out.
So now I'm striving to break the cycle. I've spoken of this in the past, but lacked the strength to complete the journey. My inner fires died to a smoldering ember, barely alive. But things have happened in the past few weeks that knocked the ember around and completely re-ingited the fire. Strike while the iron is hot, some would say. I agree. So in this spirit I'm putting in my notice to work that I've chosen other seas to sail.
Where this will lead, I do not know. I'm very apprehensive with this decision, but my happiness and sanity are at stake. We are not our jobs. Our jobs should be an extension of ourselves, a means of making a living. But when it comsumes all the life from you, takes the joy from your days, it's time to assess where the focus lies.
*sigh*
Strength is what I need. I know difficulties are ahead. I just have to calm myself and build up my confidence before walking willingly into the fire... and hope I don't get burned too badly.

reptilia:
That's a pretty big move. Hopefully all goes well. Do you have another job lined up or are you just winging it?

Best of luck with your journey.
