Decisions

Vonita

One of the biggest decisions I’ve had to make was to leave my home and family behind, and start a new life in a foreign land. If I stop and think about it, it’s a rather huge decision. A few months earlier I had to make a decision on changing jobs. I was offered a new position, and had to decide. It tore at me, I was at peace with nothing, to stay or to go. My daughter was still a baby, and I couldn’t see how I would cope with either choice. My nerves gave in. After much obsession, I joined the new company. From the first moment, I struggled to adapt. Everything bothered me, the building, the location, everything! After a couple of weeks I decided not to continue. The manager at my previous company was gracious, and invited me to return. In doing so, the way opened to move to Australia. This time there was no anxiety. I created a to-do list and got on with it. So even though it was a major life-changing decision, it took minimal energy to make. And that is how it often seems to be. The big decisions are sometimes clear-cut and easy to make, but every day we have smaller decisions that consume way more energy. What to eat, what to wear, read WordPress blogs on the bus, write a post, or read the news instead, etc!

  8. Oh, that had happened to me so many years ago as well.
    I worked in a social department for five years before ever decided to work with husband in our medical and ambulance transportation firm. I was at first had a struggle trying to adapt to the new firm and most of them are men in there. Paramedics and even office colleagues are male. I felt I am being invaded by Mars! Well, that is because men are from Mars and women are from Venus! LOL

    But then I was lucky to have an assistant who is a woman and because I begged my husband the least employ a female in his firm. He did that for me. Now, we are best of friends and colleague.

    I wish you all the best and happiness in life, Vonita!

    Take care! 🙂

    1. It is beautiful and so helpful too! When I started a blog I started blind. Had no idea of how much help and growth I would find, and all the wonderful people I would meet!

      2. I started my blog in October 2013 to post some prose (Spring Day is listed at the beginning of section 1 in my PDF), but I didn’t like how it appeared on the screen so I tried to write poetry. I then stopped after a couple of months because I didn’t know what or how to write, and only started again in August 2014 when I was upset over something and poetry appeared. I started doing the daily posts and that helped a lot, and from there I started compiling my book. So that makes one and a half years, plus the couple of months at end 2013.
