It seems all my adult life I've been trying to figure out where I fit, what I should do, what am I good at, how do I want to make a living, but enjoy life at the same time. I've been very blessed several times to "fall into" wonderful jobs. Most recently (meaning just over 20 years ago) I was hired at NOSC (old name) which became SSCSD by the time I moved. It is a US Navy R&D center and I was so blessed to work my way up to a position I really, really liked. To top it off, I was working with the absolute best team of people on the face of the earth.
Since then it's been a challenge. I've had several jobs here in GA, most recently with a defense contractor. Once the contract was complete, though, back in Oct 2010 I haven't worked a full-time job. Still keeping busy, and counting my blessings each day for a husband who works hard and provides for us.
But the question still haunts -- what do I want to do when I grow up? Interesting that a dear friend of mine, a registered nurse who is just younger than I am, is going through the same thing. She doesn't have a problem finding work, but the schedule and place of work is her challenge. She, too, is trying to figure out "where Heavenly Father" wants her.
I'm approaching my 57th birthday and all that haunts me, too. My inner self wants to break out and really go for something. But what?
