I'm Back (In More Ways Than One)

I haven’t forgotten about this blog, but it seems that life continually gets in the way. At the start of this year, my job that I thought had been so promising turned into a constant trial in frustration. This resulted in most days dreading the drive to work for what awaited me and saw most nights void of any energy or desire to do anything constructive. Without going into detail, it was not a job that fit who I am, so I decided that it was time for me to move on. That was back at the beginning of May and I have been at my new job for approximately three and a half months .I am still learning, but it is a better fit for who I am, although a bit of a step back from the role at my last job, and I work with a great group of people.
It has made me question whether I am in the right career for me though. Sometimes I enjoy the work of being an accountant but most times it just feels like after almost twenty years of doing the same type of work, it is time for me to move on to something new. I have told myself that I should give it an honest effort for at least a year so I can make sure I am making an informed decision. At the same time, I have finally got my life on track and am journaling all the things I want to accomplish and how my daily progress is going. I feel like I am on the track to accomplishing great things this year. I am eating better, exercising regularly and am finally back to doing more writing.
Part of my plan will be to try to do some freelance writing and work on my playwriting and photography. I am taking a writing course through the University of Wisconsin and start classes on Saturday to finally achieve my accounting designation. I also have some long-term goals and plans starting to take shape including a few part-time business prospects on the distant horizon.
It looks like I am going to be really busy for the foreseeable future and I am excited about it, I haven’t felt this optimistic about life in quite awhile and I love it.
Take care all and remember to make a plan to achieve your goals and dreams.
