When something happens to shake your perception of your sheltered life, you start to take inventory of how you are living. I did, anyway. Before it was too late.
2011 has been a year of sheer production for me, work is intense, school is intense, my passion for cooking and eating sustainable food is intense. But I have learned something. Stop taking yourself so seriously. Simple as that. Love deeply, laugh heartily, and try things you never thought you would. That's my new outlook on life. I won't be an HR Director by the time I'm 40. I could be, I could have been one now, but I made choices that I don't regret, in the pursuit of the quality of life. I won't have a 4.0 when I get my PhD. But it doesn't matter. I have a life that is full of friends, and fun, and things I never thought I'd get to do. And I'm only 36. What more is in store for me, I'm ready to find out!
