Running Away
Sometimes I look at my life and I wish I could just pack up and take off to greener pastures. I would love to take my daughter and re-start our lives somewhere new. However, I am tied down by custody agreements and family obligations, so I will make as much of a new life right here in Florida as I possible can.
I have an old friend who went to law school and then joined a practice of Chicago personal injury lawyers, only to very quickly realize she hated practicing law. She was childless and unmarried, so she quit her job and joined the Peace Corps. She is in South America and living with a host family. There is a degree of danger in her life now, but she loves everything about her new life. Of course, she is bringing in a lot less money, but she says her life feel richer now.
I entitled my post running away, but I am not sure running away is really what I am talking about. I am talking about striking out to make a change in your life, seeking a new start, and looking for a fresh venue. It is cleansing and good for the soul.
