Which means I have a lot more time on my hands.
And I don't know what to do with it.
Oh, I have options. I could get a job, a paying one, as a nurse, probably. Or I could go back to school, and get my masters degree, something that is on my bucket list. Or I could do more genealogy work, or more volunteer work, or keep working at the cello....really, the possibilities are endless. And I am so blessed to have so many opportunities. Except that I don't know what to do with them.
Here are the things I do know:
- My kids are my priority. I want to be there when they leave for school in the morning and when they get home after school and I want to go to all of their games, performances, etc.
- I want to do something that is new and challenging.
- I want to be busy, not insanely so, but enough that when I get to the end of the day, I can look at it and say I accomplished something.
Okay, I thought that list would be longer. See why I'm having a hard time deciding?
I took this to my husband, who gives great advice, and he suggested I try volunteering with some organizations/companies that I think I might have an interest in. He also suggested taking a few classes at the colleges here to sort of sample different pursuits.
It feels like I'm in high school again, trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
Any ideas?
