What Matters

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).

During the 1950s, civil defense was a major concern of the United States government. In response, the government launched a nationwide civil defense program that included the building of nuclear fallout shelters, the stockpiling of food and medical supplies, the creation of evacuation plans, and the creation of a nationwide alert system. The federal government also worked to educate the public on how to react to a nuclear attack, including the basics of sheltering in place and responding to radiation.

Citizens across the nation under the threat of nuclear war had one thing on their mind......

Be ready.

This manual was developed by the Office of Civil Defense within the Department of Defense. According to the note inside the manual written by Robert S. McNamara, Secretary of Defense, the goal of the publication is to provide the American people with the facts they need to know about the dangers of a thermonuclear attack and what they can do to protect themselves. He goes on to say that "the factual information in this booklet has been verified by independent scientific authority."

The threat of nuclear conflict is ever present in these modern times. Since the 60's many more countries have developed nuclear weapons including North Korea, Pakistan, India - and likely Iran. While this guide was originally published over 6 decades ago - it remains valid and important today.

Whether you are a historian, a history buff, or simply interested in preparedness this guide is a great read and full of beneficial information.

    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
