singerinthedarkDid you ever have a moment where you are in your car, heading home, and you get the sudden urge to pick a direction and keep driving until you have to pull over to sleep, get up, and then keep going?
I had a moment like that not too long ago. I haven't entirely lost the urge yet.
Or how about this: Have you ever felt so restless, so desirous of change that you wanted to exersize, run, jog, swim, whatever, until every muscle in your body burned and ached?
I need to get out of this house. I need to get a job. I don't want to take work that I am not passionate about - I am afraid that I'll get stuck. On a different level, I recognize that I can't sit around waiting for the perfect job to appear. I need to find something to do in the interum, not only for my sanity, but also to ensure I have a place to live, food to eat, etc. as the year wears onward. It's just frustrating because all of the environmental positions that come up are for people with 10+ years of experience as a scientist. There are few/no entry level positions opening up right now. GRRRR!
I need to change, to bend, to fix my life. I need for everything to be o-kay, right now, because I said so. That's right, Universe, you heard me. Because. I. Said. So. I'll even throw in the magic words: Please. Thank you.
I need to let go. I need to throw my hands up in the air and accept this life as my own. I recognize that I still haven't done that - not in my heart of hearts. I am still waiting to wake up, waiting for Matt to still be alive, and for my life to still be full of the possibilities that I was counting on. I can't fly until I figure out how to fall, and I can't fall until I let go.

SUPPORT!
:)
I empathize.
Keep up the positive - AND LET IT GO!
Let that energy out into the universe and let it do it's thing.
Go with the Flow! and let the job come to you - you KNOW that it wont come around the way you think it will -right?
It may come at you in a very obtuse direction so don't hold yourself back, go out and do - If you have that much desire not to get held down - YOU WONT! - in a year or so if what you are doing in the interim gets you down then MOVE ON - I KNOW you can and will. But - who knows - maybe that is how you are supposed to make a contact for that dream job - Or maybe you need to take a trip - or whatever inspires you.
:)
IF you do come out our way the couch is always free.
HUGS,
