slow train

Hi. My name is Christine and I'm an indecisive pacifist. And lately I've fallen off the wagon. Fallen right back in the muck of waiting for situations out of my control (like the weather, sickness, the economy...) to make my decisions for me. I swore to myself that I would no longer turn over the things I can control to chance or fate and I have done exactly that.


So my pep talk to myself is, "GET OFF THIS SLOW TRAIN! It's taking you nowhere you really want to go. You have precious few years to live, precious few months to explore Italy, precious few hours to raise young punks!"

Now, when I put it like that, it's easy to find the gumption to change. Break it down to the core values, and it really feels like "what the hell am I waiting for?"

(I snagged this from Michelle, cause she kicks ass too!)

To decipher the above, I've decided to quit my day job. My job that isn't taking me where I thought it could. It's not taking me anywhere in fact, and I want to go somewhere. Because I could do a lot with the time between the hours between 9am and 3pm and because I have the good fortune to be in a situation in which I have a choice. Because it is a sin, of the god of kicking ass, to waste an opportunity to make a better choice for your life. And while I am very good at making the best of the situation, finding and living out all the positives of any situation, I need work at changing the situation.
