Another day, another dollar
You know, growing up I never thought I would be where I am in life. I figured I'd be successful, a lawyer maybe, have a child, or maybe two. But here I am, stuck in a dead end job and no children. It's amazing to me how different things end up being than what we thought they would. I have a college degree, but I don't know why. I sure don't need it to do what I'm doing now. Some days it's hard to get up and drag myself in to work, knowing there's no end to this in sight. And why? So I can buy another thing, another piece of something that I don't really need, that doesn't really make me happy, that I could live without? Maybe I need to sit down and rearrange my proirities. I'm not getting any younger, my dh isn't getting any younger, and life just keeps slipping us by. I find myself wishing for Fridays, and all I'm doing is wishing my life away, a Friday at a time.

My SIL and I discussed this today... the fact that people work so hard for "things" and miss out on a lot of life! When life is over, they'll wonder, "All that for a car? a house? furniture?". Enjoy every day as if it were your last and make every day count! That's where you'll find happiness, is what we concluded.
Happy Wednesday!

sussann!! If you truly feel this way..then you should DO SOMETHING about it!!! That is one of the reasons I cut back at work..I HAD to. I wanted to reconnect with me..SURE I dont DO a darn thing on those days! HA!! but I figure after 21 yrs at the SAME job..I deserve this. I DIDNT stay home full time with my girls...I didnt take alot of time off either..so NOW is MY time..to enjoy those mondays...when the girls are gone..and when they get home. It makes life so much more worth it..And sure..the money isnt as good..but OHhhh well..We will live.! Ha
