RE: Out and about with me Mum~glorious reflections and a blessed encounter
Sounds like you have made the right decision to leave a busy scheduled life, and now how time to connect more with family and have weekly routines with your mother. Going to life, no matter what we do, staying at home, traveling, working, I believe it's all about the people we meet and connect with, family included. It's so important! Just curious what you will do for income and work now that you've left something behind, what's in the future for you? :) Looks like a lovely walk by the way...
Thanks Helen. I feel so blessed to have the time to spend with my Mom. It's so easy to get caught up in a stressful career trying to fulfill what we in the US call the "American dream". I am finally at a place where I am reassessing all of that and trying to find a path that fulfills my monetary needs as well as the true desires of my soul. I have decided to live off of my savings for a bit and test the waters in areas that I find joy. So far it really has been working. I have a little resale business selling vintage treasures that I find and am also in the process of seeing if I can move more towards my artistic endeavors in order to pay my bills. I'm just one of those people that doesn't need too much money to live so am blessed with taking the time to dabble in this and that and see what sticks. It's such a difference from a brain draining career. We'll see, I just don't want to go back to a stressful career in middle management. The funny thing is, I feel busier than I have in years, but my heart is happy and I don't come home feeling like I have the flu every night from stress :)
So true! I believe there are so many people chasing something they don't even know what is, but it's certainly not happiness! I hope that you will find your way and be able to live off what vintage treasures and artistic endeavors can give you. I'm glad that it's working so far! I'm also happy that you have your family around you, you're lucky! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and dreams :)
