Have you ever imagined doing something different than what you are doing right now? Having a different life? I've been working at the same place for 18 years and today I thought, "I don't want to do this same thing for the next 15 years." It was so sudden and so decisive, it scared me a little.
I always thought I would retire from Granite, but now I'm not so sure. What if I did something different?
I thought about going to work for a different company. I wouldn't stay in construction. I might stay in the business side of a company, but maybe not. If I could do something with writing, I would like that.
I talked about it all with MT and he was awesome. He did not encourage me to just quit my job, but he certainly understood my desire for change. He had lots of suggestions: go to school for a graduate degree, work for someone else or start our own business. He was very excited about the possibilities. He's always been more daring and willing to try new stuff than I am.
My mind is spinning, but I have some ideas. And I'm excited about the thought trying something new.
Maybe it was just today's thought, but maybe it's more than that. I don't plan on leaving my steady paycheck anytime soon, but maybe someday. There's a lot of thinking and planning to do first.
We'll see...
