Well guys, I know I have taken some breaks from the BB in the past but now....it's finally time for me to say adios to my virtual friends here.
You have all been such a Godsend to me when I needed you and for that I am ever so grateful!! Mr.GEL and I seem to be on a really good track right now (finally managed to celebrate New Years Eve the way it should be!!) and things have been pretty harmonious in our home for several months now.
So my New Years resolution is to.....keep on keeping on the way we are, happy and content. To add to that I've decided to go back to college and grow up to be a....wait for it.........Psychologist, yep yours truly wants try to help others (what a shock huh?) I'll be 40 this year and now I finally know what I want to grow up to be LOL.
I've had this phrase from a book I read running through my brain that I just couldn't shake for the last several months (well year really I guess) ("If you meet with obstacles, you try to overcome them. You fix what you need to fix to reach what you believe is your goal. If you still can't fix it, if you're hitting a wall, it probably means....you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. Change careers. Change direction. You're meant to be doing something else.").....well, that's how I've felt about my job for a couple of years now and now I know why :-) I'm meant to be doing something else.
So I'll be enrolling in grad school this week and won't be spending much time online in the chat rooms anymore, although I'm sure I'll still be spending PLENTY of time on the computer LOL.
So take care my friends....you are all very special, wonderful people and I wish the best for you that life has to offer!!
GEL. It has been so nice to have known you. Best wishes in your new endevors. Grad School and psychology? I think you have the background for the job. Take care.
Naturally I'll be tackling Grad school with Psych...and then working on the phd portion....but one step at a time right? That's how we have to take every endeavor in life.
Happy New Year and Happy Life. I am so glad that you and your H have found your way through the muck. Life is messy and people have good times and bad ones but I think there is something really cool in looking back and having a shared history with someone- Hey Honey - remember when we dated, remember when we had our kid, remember when you got out of that stupid job you hated so much and finally went back to school - even the stuff that has a tinge of unhappiness involved is part of that history and is the beauty of "til death do us part."
Good luck with school. Grad school is one of the few things I did right. I love my job, I love my collegues, I love working with mentally ill folks and there is part of me that would love to have my shingle up and do a little counseling on the side too. I haven't gone that route because my work responsibilities keep growing and if anything, I may go back to school someday for an MBA in non-profit management. I like the challenge of running an agency, my boss is very hands off so I can take on virtually any aspect of the agency that interests me. Long way of saying - good luck in school and I hope you get to "do what you love" too!
GEL, You have helped so many here on the BB--you will make a fine psychologist ( too bad your posts can't count as credits). You are a strong, clear headed and kind person...you take that wherever you go. I wish for your continued happiness with H and your son.
Oh sis, what a great idea! That is *exactly* what the world needs: An HDW therapist, ha ha!
So when a couple walks in and the wife is crying saying, I feel like he doesn't love me anymore. And the H replies, What..I go to work for her, I mow the yard..... You can look squarely at them and say, Which one of you avoids sex? It'll be great!
Seriously, best of luck to you and kiss that little red headed bundle of energy for me.
While I have pretty much given up posting on this board (among other things ), I just want to say that I appreciate all the comments in the past and I am so happy things are going so well for you.
Gone the carvings and those who left their mark. Gone the kings and queens, now only the rats hold sway.
