TAKING CHANCES


After my last post I figured the only way I was going to figure out my life was to take a chance.  So I've decided that I'm just going to let it all go and see where I end up.  I'm taking a chance at life, take a chance on love, and take a chance at work. 

A few of you who really know me, know that I'm not a huge fan of change.  I mean, who is?  I realize that in order to grow into the person we are meant to become that we need to do some embracing.

After a conversation I had (on a date) with someone I just really happen to care about, he informed me that if I wasn't around, he really couldn't see things working out.  I've always swore I'd never quit my job for a guy.  But, I kind of have.  I didn't technically quit.  I just moved to a different position. (which hasn't officially started yet... I don't start until October)  But with that said, I'm not going to be gone all the time.  I'm going to have the freedom to have some-what of a life.  And I'm taking the chance that things are going to work out in the love department (fingers crossed).

I am excited, I'm nervous and I'm scared shitless (sorry mom, but there was no other word to describe it)!  I guess with change it is expected that there will be fears.  Fear of the unknown, fear of making the wrong decision and fear of failure.  I'm a bundle of nerves and emotions, which shouldn't be unexpected.  I've been doing the same job for the last 7 years.  And as most of you know, it is so easy to get "stuck in a rut".  Now apart from the "scared" side there is also a positive side.  The positive side is, I'm excited!  I'm excited to see where things go and how I grow as a person.  I'm excited for meeting new people and having new experiences.  And most of all, I'm excited to see what else life has to offer!

  2. Can I say, I am very excited for you. I am alot like you in the way that I don't like to take chances either. Change of any kind (other than GOOD CHANGE, which never happens to me) scares me and leaves me feeling very unsettled, but it sounds like you have put in a great deal of thought and this sounds like it could be a great adventure. I wish you the very best!!! PS...just don't forget to blog about ALL your FUN new changes and adventures :) I love your blog!
