In this tough economy, you have to find time to smell the roses, take time to recharge your batteries, it works in ways you can't imagine.I was reminded on my recent visit to Alaska, just how precious, and short life is. I was dinning with my partner when we started talking with the family sitting next to us at dinner one night. It was a father, mother, and daughter in her mid twenties vacationing together.
I found an immediate connection with the father. We had both worked in our previous industries for over twenty years, and we both had done very well in our careers, but at the same we were ready, and currently entering new career paths. We stayed an additional hour at this restaurant visiting with this family, and enjoying their company.
Life is short, I'm thankful for my trip to Alaska, the endless, and beautiful scenery, and the wonderful people I met. I'm thankful that I'm not alone, in forging a new career path. (*forging per Webster:
| 2. | vt establish something with effort: to establish and strive to develop something with great effort.) |
In this economy making a career change does take 'great effort'. Alaska's last frontier renewed my energy for the continued work ahead. vlb
