And so my journey begins

It has been, for the sake of keeping my age a bit of a mystery, many many moons since I attended college.  I don't remember much about that time in my life beyond feeling obligated to attend.

I was young and free of responsibility.  I lived at home with my parents and my only financial obligation was putting gas in my car.  Even that wasn't much of a burden because you could buy three gallons of gas at todays gallon price with a fist full of change left over.  

I have been dreaming of going back to school for awhile now.  The kids are self sufficient and soon to be forging their own lives.  My job is about as no brainer as they come.  A means of gathering a pay check.  A job that fit my lifestyle when my kids were growing into the adults they are now.  Call it empty nest, call it mid life but it has left me questioning, what is next?

A bucket list item, that is what.  And how exciting is that?  I am prepared.  I am determined.  I am beyond capable.  I am finally going to prove to myself that I can do this.  I can have a job of purpose that enriches my life and allows me to feel I am an important member of our vast universe.  I have achieved great things already in my life and for that I am grateful.  This one is for me!!

Watch out world, here I come!
