That means so much to me.

Thank you, my sweet friend.

Hugs.

PIB --

I didn't know that we shared an interest in non-profit management! That's what I'm hoping to utilize my MBA for.

BUT, this is about you, no? And the AWESOME step you are taking! I can relate to your fears about not having enough time...but knowing that going in is the biggest and best first step! Maybe we can help you get creative about it? also, when YOU'RE happy and fulfilled I think that time just has a way of working itself out.

Now...as to this dream of being a THERAPIST -- YOU GO GIRL!!!

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.

[snip]

So...lots of fears.

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

Thanks for listening.

Hugs all.

Remember what Henry Ford said: "Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right".

You'll do fine.

PIB -

I really needed to hear that. I CAN do this! I CAN work 40 hours, go to school, and have time with my husband.

Of course you can do this - no one here had any doubts.

Where are you going to school?

[Phoenix_In_Bloom]

Sage, Mr. Cool!

Thank you both for visiting!

Sage, I know that whichever I do...I'll be happy. Both are very fulfilling...worthy causes! Thank you for your encouragement...I really appreciate it, my friend!

Mr. Cool...

You are sooo right...I need to stay focused on the positive. It's gotten me through so much already...

Hugs to you both!

Thanks Odga!

Wow...it's amazing how much the fear has just absolutely drained away...thanks to everyones responses and support!

Please don't be offended, but I prefer to stay anonymous. It's funny, but by not using my real name...or my University, I can open up so much more to y'all.

Hugs!

Hi PIB,

I was wondering is your pool above ground?

How much work is it to have a pool?

With no horses to get me outside to exercise, a pool might do that for me.

Hey PIB,

Just weighing in my .02!!! Great stuff here!

Why worry about how this is going to shake out? Things always turn out for the best anyway, and you've got a winning attitude.

I'll be cheering for you on the sideline.

Good Morning PIB,

I hope you had a relaxed wonderful evening after all the encouragement helped your fears drain away!!

Pam, Betsy!

Hello Ladies!

Pam, I have an above ground pool that is 3 1/2 feet deep. I love exercising in it. Husband tends to it constantly....so it is a lot of work.

Betsy,

Lady you are so right. Having an idea/dream in my head is great...but I suspect that the classes will help me figure out which direction I need to go in. So, why sweat it?

Pam,

I crashed last night. Was in bed reading at 7:00 pm and asleep by 8. Slept straight through the night until 6:30 am. I feel SOOOO much better!

Positives:

1> Husband came to bed and read with me.

2> Before he left he smooched me sweetly 4 times!

3> He asked if I had gotten enough touching from him. (Of course not...it's NEVER enough! ) I told him I was very happy and appreciated him! And that yes, I got enough touching from him!

Hugs all!
