Seasons of Change

For those who follow me on my blog, I like to share my travel stories simply because it’s been my life and my career. I’ve seen many things experience many things that I wouldn’t have, if it wasn’t for this career choice, and I’m grateful for these experiences.

It’s difficult, but I wanted to share some life changes that I’ve recently been through that I like to call them seasons of change. I’ve been through depression before many times I’ve suffered from anxiety, some depression more severe than others to the point that my clearance was pulled luckily I got over them and because I got over them in the past I know that I can get over them again. I have so much to offer so much expertise so much life experiences so much training so much talent. I can’t let a simple mood swing or depression so to speak handicap me for a short period.

Today I went to talk with a mentor that I’d like to consider my mentor anyways and he says that I should do things that make me happy. Something so simple yet so profound why don’t I do things that make me happy? some things cost money some things don’t I used to have a ton of hobbies. I used to have so much ambition because I believed in myself in accomplishing what I set out to do whether it’s to finish the certificate or to get a new job. I can’t let these seasons of change cause depression in me.

My divorce was final, on October 16.  Final decree and now I'm back to single status, at least in the eyes of the civil court. I am not rejoicing over something I failed. I know it’s A two-way street and it takes two people to make it work. I think failing God hurts me more than failing myself.
Now I must start a new life without the extra support for the time being. I had a great dinner with my daughter for Halloween. We didn’t have to go to a party or go trick-or-treating, but I was happy for that.

I must muster along as best as I can. Being on my own, retiring, looking for a new job is not easy but makes us stronger.  I can do this...I can whether the seasons of change. I continue to polish my skills because I never know when that next job will be around the corner.
