A Better Year Than Last

January 4, 2011 | by Natalie Caine | No Comments

Hello,

I am ready for 2011. It must be better than last year.  What I am not ready for is figuring out how to deal with so many changes.  My job is too stressful and for years I say I will leave.   This year I will.  I think I wish someone would just ask me to come on board and that won’t really happen.  I don’t like the resume updates and I do like the interviews.   I think I will get to my local colleges and have a talk with someone.

If I need to go back to school, I will.  I hope I get a loan.

My children are in college. They are of course all about themselves but it is their age and of course they make mistakes, it is part of growing.  I just wish I had someone to brainstorm and heal my mistakes.  That person would be me.  Great friends but not the same as family.

My partner is more routine than I and not much of a seeker. I want to shake that up this year but it takes two.   I am so hungry for change and at the same time, where do I begin so I feel productive?  Winter is not my best season but no choice in that.  Do you ever feel like your head has answers but your heart is sensitive and your feet are just too tired to kick it up? How do you gear up?

Thank you for listening,
Anna
