*blows cobwebs and dust out of the way*
So life has been interesting to say the least the past few months. Nothing I wish to really share in this space. If you are Live Journal inclined and wish to read more, message me with your LJ info and I will add you.
I have decided to borrow from a friend of mine. I am naming this year.
I am calling 2015 The Year of Transformation
I have spent the better part of a year working on me since Andrew and I separated.
Now I am going to redouble my efforts.
Mentally I am probably in the best place I have been in YEARS. It's not perfect, but definitely an improvement.
Physically... I don't like me. I am tired of carrying around the weight I gained from having my son.
A friend and I are joining a gym together. We are doing this because neither of us will go to the gym by ourselves and for different reasons, we both want to get in better shape.
I am also figuring out my direction in Life. What do I want to be when I grow up?
I know for sure, that at this time, I am done in the child care field.
I do not want to work from home again. Finding work in a centre in this area without being able to drive is near impossible and I don't think I want to be an ECE in a kindergarten classroom. At least not in this school board.
I have the ability to go back to school here because there is both a College and a University.
The question is what do I take?
Ultimately I'd like to one day teach at the college level for Early Childhood Education. To do that I need a degree and likely a Masters.
I am contemplating a degree in Social Work. Combined with my ECE this opens a lot of opportunities if I am willing to move for work. I am willing to do that as it would likely be four years from now.
I am going to get my license this year. No, I can't afford to get a car, BUT I can utilize the family van when the parental unit is not using it or sleeping when he is on nights.
In two weeks I go write the G1 test. In 6 months I take the entrance into the G2 and 6 months from that I take the exit into the Full G. So this time next year I should have or about to have my full license.
I am also going to finally figure out my Path Spiritually wise. I have connected with a great group of people locally. I will be looking to them to sort out what is the best Path for me.
One step at a time.
