Day 3,993 —Living in Transition—

 

*Still running with a 20 pound vest. 

   It is always bizarre when you change careers; even though, my change has been a long time coming, it is still hard now that it is here. I don’t know what it will be like. I have some ideas, but I am giving up things I know I am good at to try something new. I am also giving up part of my identity and deemphasizing things that have always been important to me. It is scary, and although I know this is what I want to do, at the same time, do I know what I want? The most challenging part of growing up was making decisions about my career and other significant parts of my life. I have always wanted to do so many jobs. And I am fortunate enough to have done two different jobs in my career that have given me a lot of meaningful experiences and allowed me to cultivate multi-faceted skill sets.
