Thank You
Hi Friends,
I want to Thank You all for your support yesterday. I found comfort and security in all of your compassion and love. We are faceless entities in cyber space, but I felt as if you all were there with hugs and support in person. After a night of sleep, I am refreshed and doing what I need to do to make a significant change in my life.
I just got off the phone with my adviser for school. I start on the 9th. I have never been more ready for such an adventure.
Have a good day peeps!

I'm retired now Mizz but looking back at my life I had some unplanned career changes .....
At the time I thought it was the end of the world (any good glitch elicits that emotion) but it all worked out well in the end.
I was back in College at 33yrs old for electronics tech training .. I had been a plumber for 10 yrs. before that. Mechanic before that.
I finished my working life as a retailer. My wife designed and made her own Teddy Bears and we had a very successful Teddy business.
I started my working life on the assembly line at Chrysler Canada in the early 1960's welding bodies together. We built 500 cars a shift. Then I would go to the local watering hole and drink beer until closing time. If you would have told me then that I would spend years selling Teddy Bears I would have spilled my beer laughing so hard.
All the best.

So what are you gojng to school for? Okay my degree has nothing to do with what I am doing but the satisfaction of doing well in school and working while I was in the military paid off. I retired from the military and went right back to work. I graduated college while in the military with a. 3.89 GPA. I never drank while I was in school. Maybe it kept me so busy with work and college. Anyway I did well because I wanted it. Good luck and don't give up.

It's funny Mizz I went from journalism to nursing to culinary school, now studying hard to achieve this "informal" (and incredible) education just like you have. I think that we have very powerful healers/nurturers within us. I am reading a book... Well, I am reading 6 books I think now, one is "the introvert advantage". It has really helped me understand and accept that I am an innie and how to embrace and work with it. ( it also explains how I can hop between so many books at one time)

Mizzuno, we are family here, and we will always be here for you. We do understand how hard and how exciting this journey is.
I think it's great that you have a plan for school in place and more important, that you are ready for it. Who knows where it will take you, but that's part of the excitement.
