Interestingly, the best job I ever had was one way out of my league which I applied for out of complete desperation. It was in an industry I had a passing interest in but not one that was relevant to any of my experience. They wanted somebody more qualified than me and were offering double my salary. Thing was, it was the only job in the paper that week I could pretend I could apply for and I was so desperate to get out of the job I was in that I would get really down if I didn’t have any applications in. So I applied anyway. I was late for both interviews and still got the job. So at 28 years old, I went from the post of assistant gopher to marketing manager in a nationwide company. It turned my life around.

So yeh… stars? Reach for ‘em.

Wise words.

I agree - I always did reach for the stars, (my nickname online for ll years is wishingstar) however, after a serious car accident, with a pre-existing condition of cystinuria, that amounted to 85 surgeries!, I had to come to terms with changing my reality. I’m glad I shot for the moon, however, I’m thankful now to just look at the stars With our health
intact, yes, the sky is the limit. I had serious head injuries, so for me,
to read and comment here, is way more than I could do for a couple of years. I’m content. No regrets, however, definitely I think it happens that I reflect on what if’s, and if only in a very different way . I have a 5 second rule for that kind of thinking, then I tuck it away and can’t think of the future, for all we have is right now. I’m glad you are home and warm, and keep on walking. It started with relearning steps for me, when I was a marathon runner. I’m happy just walking now. And, yes, to anyone that will listen and has their health, JUST DO IT!.

Looks like this cold snap is going to leave, though on Saturday -7 - now that is something that I do look foward to .

Keep on writing ,and I’ll keep on reading

I hope you and Vi are doing well. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

I’ve also recently made the decision to leave my corportate job that I hate ,to pursue a career I’ve always dreamed of. This means leaving the security of a great paying job, with good benefits and trusting following my heart. The circumstances are the best they will ever be for me to take this leap. The deciding factor was the thought that if I didn’t take the opportunity now, I would always regret not trying. Thanks for the encouragement Bill. I know dietary restrictions suck, but it’s just food right? Compare that to having more time to spend here with your loved ones and I think it make the sacrafice a little easier.
Much Love
Venus
