November 2009 Entries

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 50. Fifty. The big five oh. A half century! Right smack dab in the middle of middle age. Sigh.
Today, I am choosing to be happy. I will be in a great mood. I will get a lot of work done. I'm going to enjoy the day.

"There I go...turn the page"

I think I would have liked to be a teacher. This is awesome and sums up this grossly underpaid profession pretty well.

 
I wrote earlier that I'm in dire need of change. I still don't know what that change is, but I do know that I want to be a part of something. Something big. Something very public. Something everyone knows about and likes. Heh, yeah, I know. Who doesn't want that?

But I also want something of my own. Something that is mine and I can be proud of. Something to work on. To make it big. To make it public. What that is, I have no idea. I'm sure it will probably turn out to be some kind of business. Something from which I can make enough money to live on and pay the bills.

Could it be my age that's causing these feelings? Probably. I've worked for over 35 years for someone else. It'd be nice to work for myself for once.

The search continues.
