The fat lady sang

I've been MIA for the past two weeks tying up loose ends. At the beginning of July I took a deep breath, looked around and realized it really was time to step off the precipice and stop straddling that line of indecision. No one likes a waffler

It's always frightening to be out of work, but if you are going to pursue something you've always wanted to do then that should take some of the sting out of it. Best of luck to you, whatever you do in this new chapter of your life.

I have no idea what I'm going to do next,so yeah, definitely frightening. Thanks for the kind words-they do help.

At least I don't have tuition any longer- you can relate I know :-)

Thanks A.

I'm so sorry! That had to be tough.

And yeah, I think it's very possible to be both excited and scared out of your wits. In fact it might be obligatory!

[winsomeone]

Thanks Z. It was a very hard thing to do.

Change is always scary, but often very good, especially in retrospect.

It's great that you're feeling the possibilities!

Somehow, this post puts me in mind of Dr. Seuss's "Oh! The Places You'll Go!"

Thanks V.-your comment made me smile.

I can't lie and say that I'm not upset about everything falling apart, and I'm really just starting to feel the repercussions(I've had a couple days where I just couldn't get up off the couch) but all in all it's really like a weight lifted.

Now I just need to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. :-)

It really sucks to have to close down a business. I've been there too ... several times. In my case, I always recovered from these problems. I did have to give up working for myself and work for somebody else.

[winsomeone]

You really understand then. It's tough to give up, but sometimes it's for the best.

I'm depressed, but I'm naturally too optimistic for it to bother me for very long. I'm more nervous about finding something else than anything. I'll probably end up working for someone else, too.

Most of my work career I worked for very large companies. I didn't like that aspect, but running one's own business is hard, especially in economic downturns.

I'm glad that you are a naturally optimistic sort. It will help you make whatever transition is necessary.
