Is it January 1st because it feels like New Years

Posted by elizabethgomez on August 14, 2008

Every so often I know everyone does this I evaluate my  life’s situation. While most times I do it when the new year is approaching lately I have been thinking about finding a different job, or even moving to a different state. Maybe someplace warm like New Mexico. It just seems like every year for the last 11 years since I have worked where I work, I have wanted to quit my job. Usually money and financial responsibilities hold me back. About two years ago, however Jenn and I started looking into foster care and during that time we came up with a two year plan to get rid of our debt other than what we owe for the house and expences that we need to live day to day. Well 18 months later we managed to do just that. I also managed to cut back my hours as well and I have been working part time. 22 hours a week, plus watching our foster child Matty and keeping up the house. Jenn still works full time and as needed works a part time job too for an extra cushion to save money. Now however even working part time has me unhappy and while I have expressed everything I feel to Jenn and she has put quitting my job on the table time and time agian I just can’t do it. Am I emotionally attached to my job, is it the friends that I have made, or am I just scared of the what’s next  ? I really don’t know what I should do ? I feel my life is in limbo because of everything that is off with that area of my life. O like it when everything is in sinc.

 

While I know the New year is months away I need a change. I want a change I just need to figure out what is exactly is holding me back and then go for what it is I really want.

 

Has anyone else ever felt this way ? Has anyone else ever felt this way and figured it all out ?  any advice would help.
