Yes, this post has a bit to do with ending, but mostly it’s about something new.
Life is really just a series of decisions, some good and some bad. I struggle making big decisions, I agonize and do pro and con lists until my brain is fuzzy and I lose focus on what actually I’m trying to decide.
But this decision was pretty easy, although emotionally difficult.
The fact is that Bear hasn’t been doing good lately and I decided, after over a year of working part time and eventually working full time, to stay at home again to really help him have the best life possible. He was doing ok at preschool but a lot of health related issues were falling through the cracks, Ben is very busy at work and my job was keeping me busy. Really busy. I cried when I told them that I needed to stay at home, maybe more for myself than anything else, but they understood.
Perhaps I’ll start to work again a little bit in the blogging world soon, but I just need to rest, regroup and get my goals in order. My blogging has suffered this year and I want to recommit to it being awesome and not just an afterthought.
Today I ran for the first time in a long time, made a huge pot of chicken and rice soup… then ate way to much candy corn. I have loved the adventure that my life has had over the last year and the journey has been rich and full at every turn. I am so thankful for Collective Bias and am grateful for their continued support as I focus on family and put them first.
Seriously, life has changed so much. I wonder what the next few months and 2013 hold?
What about you? Have you ever had to make a decision that was hard to put family first? What changes are happening in your life?
