Aloft - Almost




WHEW! I am TIRED! I have spent the past week sorting, organizing, cleaning, repairing, and painting. Why? Because I am moving, which means I need to sell this house and that means it needs to be in show condition. The listing went up this morning.

There really isn't much time, though. I will be moving in two months and still haven't found a place to live in the new area. TWO MONTHS! Now do you see the reason for the marathon house prep session? Yeah, you could say I'm a bit stressed. Of course, I haven't cleared this move with work yet... That's another HUGE hurdle...

I have moved many, many times in the past. My mother has an entire address book just for me. So why am I stressed about this move? Well, there's a lot more at stake this time. This move is for personal reasons, and it's not just across town. I have spent the past decade focused on my career and allowing my job to direct my life, but not this time. This time I may very well lose my job and career - though I hope not. I am basically throwing everything up in the air and have no idea where all the pieces will land. Kinda exciting. Very scary.

Are you someone who has moved around a lot? Have you ever left everything behind in order to start fresh? Are you the kind of person who allows your career to run your life, or does your job take a back seat to everything else? Tell me some stories and help calm me down, please!

 More power to you! I have never let my job drive my life. I have a career that I am proud of, but no job is worth my sanity. I have passed on some big money jobs because I did not want the stress and ridiculous hours that came with them. Sure my bank account has sufferred and I am not financially free to do some things, but I think I will live longer. This may just be a theory, but I think it is a good one.
