Seeing the forest for the trees,,,

I am easily sidetracked. I certainly don't mean to be, but sometimes it is a matter of small vision. I often have to remind myself to expand my view. For example, I currently work at a job that is good, honest work... it doesn't pay a fortune at all, but it helps make ends meet. This is not my forever kind of job. I think I would go mad. This job serves a purpose. I applied for this job because I have a plan.

The plan is that I work while my husband does the stay-at-home daddy thing. He traveled for the job he had and we HATED it. We knew we would have to cut back, but this would allow for us to be together, rather than miles apart, sometimes for weeks at a stretch. He will get a new job, but it will be close to home too. This is a priority for us. It is necessary for us. This time has also happily allowed him to pursue school and he is on the Deans List. Cool.

Part 2 of the plan is that I get to go to school this coming year. I have been wanting to go for so long, and there is no reason to wait any longer.

So, those are the goals. When I get frustrated with my little rinky dink job, I remind myself of WHY I am doing it and that can really make a world of difference. I always work hard because if I am going to invest my time into it, then I will do it right. I am grateful to have a job in a time when so many do not but again, this is a stepping stone, not a stopping place.
