Toward the end of this past year, I had a "moment". I seriously had a breakdown - streaming tears, hyperventilating..the works.. and it was over my job, and my life and where I was and who I have become - you know just everything. At that moment I decided to take charge. While there are days I still want to jump out the window while I'm working, when I have those moments I think about the things I want to do and put my crap corporate America job into perspective - it's JUST a job. Right now it's paying our insurance, paying bills, putting food on the table and is building up my 401K. It's a means to an end. But I have vowed to not let it take over my life and happiness and have set a plan in action to get my life on track and moving toward where I want it to go. I can't keep waiting. In 6 months I'm going to be 36! (again, HOW did that happen?!) so no time to spare- moving on... my 35 to do before 36. (some I've already completed)
