Life takes many twists and turns as it moves on. Some of those changes are expected and others unexpected. Similarly we have some control over what's happening and in some cases, we have little or no control.
I've made a few choices lately that have impacted my life. I decided not to return to my tutoring job since there are a fair number of at-home, family tasks that needed to be done--tasks that I feel I cannot put off any longer. So I didn't return to tutoring and have committed myself to completing a number of rather dull, but necessary tasks--tasks that I believe will enrich my first priority which is a happy, healthy life with my family.
I also ended the tutoring because I found myself sleepless as I worried about the students. It takes tremendous energy to serve children of any age well, and at this time, I want to use that energy for my family members and my health. There may be a time or place when I return to that service-education work, but for now, it's family and health first.
Is this a good decision in light of what's happening in the world around me, a world with many needs and too many greedy, self-serving leaders. I think yes as to shore up my personal health and family strength will make us all better able to serve in positive ways now and in time.
So I'll move ahead with the best energy, resolve, and goals as I can imagine. Onward.
