Hiya Mal!

Thank you for the visit!

Husband and I had an intense talk last night.

I'm scared about Grad School. Absolutely scared.

Afraid that I'll be so busy that I won't get any time with him...and he'll leave. (I did tell Husband this. He responded sweetly with, "Don't worry about that. I'll wait for you." Then he gave me a big hug. )

Afraid that I can't handle the studying required. That this is harder than I can imagine.

Afraid of failing.

And Heck..I'm afraid of suceeding too.

If I suceed, I won't be a secretary any longer...and there is some security in being an employee whom others tell what to do.

On the other hand...I could do two things.

I could become a Non-Profit Management Masters degree holder...which means I can either stay at my University in some sort of Administrative position.

Or I can get a great job at some other Non-Profit in town.

Either of which would be very fulfilling.

Or I could go for the big dream...the one that scares me the most.

I could become a Marriage and Family Therapist.

That's a lot of responsibility.

I know I've made mistakes on the BB.

And I've had the safety net of not being the only voice here.

When I'm wrong...I know y'all will say something!

I won't have y'all to help me in my private practice.

So...lots of fears.

Having to process them, breathe deep, and take the next baby step forward despite fears.

Thanks for listening.

Hugs all.
