Scarier Than A Halloween Night

It...finally...happened.

The dreaded first day of the kids going back to school.

Relief at surviving their exodus couples with pangs of missing them and the winds of change that always blow this time of year.

I was lucky; not everyone gets to spend their summer with their kids without leaving for work every day, and for that I am deeply grateful but now it's back to looking-for-a-new career season.

And it's scarier than Halloween.

But, it's also kind of exhilarating in a roller-coaster way, and maybe after I get past the cold-sweats aspect of it, it'll actually be fun.

Let's hope. Then maybe I can find some...

  3. Ah Anna, I've been in a job search, meaning-search funk lately. Fortunately, raising what's left of my kidlets (older two out on their own) and running a household keeps me somewhat grounded, but still. Reading your posts always makes me feel connected to my soul; your story, your pictures, your voice. Thanks, and love...

  5. Julie: I know, I saw your latest blog entries and watched how you sent your son off to college *sniff*. It was both poignant and inspiring and left me uplifted and hopeful. Am excited to see how your career unfolds....
