I find it interesting to think that I
am 'turning over a new leaf' on a day that is snowy. But after a long
chat last night, that has been on-again off-again, with my hubs about
him preparing himself for a job-change, I decided it has to start with
me.
He's going to go to school. This isn't going back to school
it is just plain ol' going to school. He has no official degree. He has
certificates and licenses. One of which I'm extremely proud of him for
achieving. On the wall above our desktop computer desk hang three
frames. Two are pictures he took of nature that are beautiful. The third
is his North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners,
certifying that he has passed an incredibly challenging test that we
both heard made most engineers with college degrees frustrated and they
had to take it again and again. He took it once, and passed. On his way
out, while the girls and I waited in a rented RV (this was an awesome
trip by the way!), he spoke with a few others that took the same test.
They were afraid that they didn't pass. He was not. He was confident
that he knew the answers, that he did his best, and it felt so good!!
So
today, as I have actively chosen to make it easier for him to
accomplish a goal, I also have embarked on a journey of discovery, and
goal achieving. I will write. I will bring joy and laughter to others
around me. While I provide my husband and children with a clean happy
home.
I
will also read, and review, and blog. It might be at a snail's pace at
first, as I negotiate these uncharted waters. But I will. For my family.
For me. For us.
