Ah. It's a breath of fresh air. We drove by our old place the other day and as the cops flashed their lights outside, we just felt this intense relief that we weren't going back - that we were driving right on past to a new place where we can rest. So good.
Things are changing.
I got an opportunity to move into a new position at my job. It would be full time and involve management and administrative responsibilities. A huge step up that will come with a huge step up in stress level as well. It's the equivalent of eating my vegetables because my current job is total ice cream. (Literally. I got paid to eat ice cream yesterday.)
I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but whether I take the position or not, I feel that God is lighting a fire under my bum to not be complacent. I can take this position or really start pursuing grad school, but it's time that I move to that next level of productivity instead of just enjoying my 4 day weekends.
