things that make you go "hm..."

Like the fact that I was anti-presidential election in 2008 until I heard a woman named Sarah speak. I'm still not convinced that either outcome is good (a good outcome went to pot when Paul bowed out), but at least I have a reason to vote Republican again... kind of.

Like the fact that I nearly hate my job but have worked peacefully all day. Maybe it's not the job itself I hate, but what it is doing to me. I am always stressed. And stress does not look good on me.

I have to admit, last week I was ready to quit and never look back. However, I can't say that I would be at peace with that decision. I may not be good at the "follow-through," but I can't bear the thought of quitting a job before I've finished strong, especially this job. I've given it so much, it would be hard to rip away from that. I am still learning so much about myself and my limits. But at what cost? Sure, I am sacrificing a lot (my best health, my best marriage even) to work the way I do, but I don't really think there is another viable option right now. hm....
