I really appreciate this because I know there are people who just did not understand why I'd leave my secure job to take something completely different. But, you know, I've spent my entire life doing things the way I was "supposed" to and it hasn't really led to the results I was hoping for. So here's hoping trying something new does!

I think it's one of those mysterious things maybe we're not meant to completely understand? But I do think that forcing the other person to be brave or do something that's going to be good for them is part of it. (Joe is much better at this than I am, because I just get mean and bossy and "why won't you just do what I say already?")

And the only sort of job, really, in the grand scheme of things. Life's just too damn short for unhappy workplaces, under-appreciation, and micro-managing. Too. Damn. Short. Here's to tiny animals and big, BIG hearts.

I think that's wonderful, that you've found a place that makes you happy and a job that makes you smile. And that you have Joe to help you get there and enjoy it! (Just as a long, rambly aside: As one of the last single people in my social circle, I'm always impressed by the relationships that make it, and curious as to why;what makes the couples that seem happiest, happy? Having a partner who pushes you to do scary things in the most supportive way possible seems like one of those essential elements, even if you kind of wish they'd shut their trap. So I'm glad you've both got that, and I hope you recognized how lucky you are. End philosophical rant. Recommence joyous celebration re: new job) May this job give you all the happy puppy/kitten thoughts you require and plenty of rambly writing time of your own!Never That Easyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008749218695113192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109551.post-13287640518462246242013-10-07T12:44:58.485-04:002013-10-07T12:44:58.485-04:00Are you considering a move, Rick?
