A Career Change Perhaps?

This weekend at my brother-in-law's birthday dinner, my sister-in-law asked me where I am working right now. She thought I was still doing the volunteer day care thing. So I told her. She said to me that i should get a job working in a hospital. She's a Unit Secretary. She told me that alot of hospitals will pay for you to become a nurse since there's such a shortage.

Over the years.. for a long time infact... I've had alot of people say I should go into nursing. I love helping people and I am the first to come to the rescue when there's a "boo boo" about. But I just never thought I'd have the intelligence to make it. It's a very hard and competitive course. So I am going to be doing alot of thinking about this. I mean if I do do it and become an RN, I could get a job anywhere. I'd make really good money. And I would be able to stand on my own two feet with or without John around. Meaning if we got divorced, or he died, then I wouldn't have to worry. As it stands now, if one of those two things were to happen, I'd be seriously screwed.

I asked John if he thinks I have what it takes to make it and he says yes. I am going to talk to my mom about it and I am going to try to talk to my ex Jim about it as he and his wife just finished their nursing course about a year ago. The reason I ask others is because they see me more clearly. I am very negative on myself, whereas they can see me. And they all know I want them to be brutally honest with me about it. I don't want to start it if they don't think I could do it. That'd be a waste of time and energy and money.So that's whats going on with me today and the past couple of days.

This is today's image on an app I have on myspace. Isn't this just too adorable?? Mummy hugging her baby. You can clearly see the love on that mummy's face.

Starting a New Journey

I've decided I am going to read up... or study if you would... on my own, about Buddhism. My father always found it interesting and I think I might find that peace of mind I've been trying to find within myself.

And if I don't find that, at least I will be learning something new and that's always good. It's builds more understanding about a part of the world I do not really know about.
