| Husband and I at a Virginia Winery |
What powers our desires to be happy at work? I wake up at
6:00am and return 12 hours later often hungry, grumpy and wishing for
alternatives to the daily commute and the daily grind of office work. My job
itself can be great at times and my feelings are certainly no reflection of the
company and customers we interact with on a daily basis but in the back of my
mind I always wonder, is there a better way? I often change my mind on what I
want to do with my life in terms of career choices. I seek to be intellectually
challenged, have a sense of contribution to society while being able to enjoy
and interweave my personal life goals into the equation.
I have a bucket-type list of things I want to
accomplish in life such as running the Marine Corps Marathon, visiting several
countries, seeing the Mayan ruins, jump out of more planes, have 5 children
with my husband and teach them how to be nerds of science and space, learn how
to can and preserve food, learn French, maybe run a personal farm among some other things. I know in order
to accomplish much of this I need to have stability in my career and there also
needs to be stability in my husband’s career but I can’t escape the feelings of
wanting to just explore the world, explore all the things I want to learn and
not be restricted. I guess its all part of being responsible and an adult but I
can dream of one day finding a perfect balance.
