Okay... I'm dredging up this line of conversation again.... and I'm pretty sure I won't drift away again. I've got a little more time on my hands now since I left my job.

So.. the redefining... I don't know that I'm necessarily re-defining, but I'm letting things in my life change their position of importance maybe. There's definately a shift. When I was younger I knew I needed to work for many reasons. I needed to be the bread winner... and I still do, but when I was younger I was probably less confident in myself and thus, felt like I could only do what was defined FOR me, and then I let it define me. Now that I'm way older, I'm trying to let things that I'm passionate about define me, and guide me into areas that I know that I've loved, but was too afraid to put much weight on it. I didn't think those things could carry me. Now... I just want to try - because if I don't try, I will always wonder.

I mean, really, why CAN'T I be sustained, mentally, physically, and emotionally, and on some level spiritually, by doing the things I love? Certainly my God would love that for me, right?

That's my story, and I'm stickin to it.
