Here Goes Nothin'

I've really been thinking lately about the direction that my life has taken me in over the last year of my life.  Having this last Crohn's flare shook my World.  Now that I can map a life plan again, about one year later, I almost forget that I have to start [almost] all over again.  Kinda scary to make any sort of moves when you're nervous you'll get sick again, but you can't let that stop you.

A friend of ours gave a business lecture earlier this year, and Michele and I sat front and center.  He told the audience that if we weren't happy in our professional lives, something was wrong.  It only makes sense that you should do what you love, right?

But what do I love? Sunshine, stuffed animals and flowers, snowflakes and rainbows, and trying to save Blue Jay Fledglings that fall into my yard?

Botany isn't in the cards... and I won't open a flower shop anytime soon.

[though I'd love to]

The one thing that sticks, that never seems to fade, is my non-creepy love for animals.

I am studying to take my Real Estate Licensing Exam.  It seems like something that I will really enjoy... but I can only hope that I will like it enough to let it hold me over until I someday take a Veterinary Licensing Exam.   I think that working in Real Estate will help put me through school, and that I can cash in on my Volunteer Position at the New England Aquarium this year. 

These are big dreams.  I know.  But I'm  pretty sure that I'm in the right place to make these decisions.  I feel good about them, even though it's scary.

I'll never be lost if I can keep looking to myself to find my way.

Turns out, I'm a pretty good guide.
