Over the last few months, I’ve been a bit on the “philosophical” side. My father passed away at 64 – just 12 years from my current age. I’ve thought about what I want, what I need, and what I should do to make myself happy. Happy. Is that what’s most important? Probably not. Handling your responsibilities is not only morale but just.
I’ve struggled over the past several weeks to decide between what most people would do in that they would stick to a job they hate versus a life they MIGHT love and relish in. Money isn’t everything, right? We only live one life, right? Isn’t the beauty and freedom we feel in the one life we live most important?
Conflicted.
Sorry for the confusing words and potentially conflicting thoughts.
Take care all.
OK, I’m going to go contemplate life and the direction to move towards(with Maine Prepper Girl).

Been there, keep the job till you can find one you enjoy and where both will be happy. The stress of going to work every day at a job you hate damaged you physically and mentally, it’s not worth it.
I’d have to agree with JohnP. In today’s economy, you don’t want to be without an income, unless you have a secret stash you haven’t told us about! But don’t necessarily look for a job that pays more or even has better benefits (although those are great when you get them). Maybe even plan to job hop for a while, just trying your hand at whatever sounds interesting. As long as you’re finding employment that will cover your bills, it doesn’t matter if you’re hired as CEO or floor sweeper.
I was “just” a clerical worker for many decades, but I’d had a lot of responsibilities as far as staffing and handling money was concerned. When I realized that I was afraid for my life at my last office job, I quit and found work as a convenience-store clerk. Interestingly enough, the starting pay was only slightly less.
Anyway, with my background, I was quickly bumped up the ranks, transferred to a brand new location, and was given the most amazing staff of 6 people. I wound up making considerably more money than I ever had before, and until health issues forced me to quit it was the most fun I’d ever had at work! I never would have found that if desperation hadn’t pushed me to set aside my preconceived ideas and try something new.
Rourke- you have been through a lot these past years. My advice is to
give your mind a break- just relax and before you go to sleep ask the Lord for guidance.It may come as a dream ….
or write down what you cannot and will not tolerate and what you will -within your search for employment that is meaningful to you. I have many years of life experience and in counseling and as a friend please know you can call and I will help in any way I can .
E mail me if you have misplaced my number or get it from John P.
With prayers- Arlene
