Friday, November 23

Today I am in New Market, Maryland at my sister's house. We had Thanksgiving dinner here last night, and the guests included my parents and their spouses....which may not seem all that monumental, but for a kid with divorced parents it's pretty monumental indeed. This was the first Thanksgiving in 20 years where my sister and I could be in one place and have everyone come to US. It was nice!

I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I've been pretty blah over the last few months (that's code for "I'm kind of depressed but don't want my friends and family to be concerned so I won't say 'depressed'). I simply don't care anymore about what I'm doing and I need to do something else. The thing that makes me feel better about it is that I know this feeling is owed to job-related burnout, which means it's a very treatable situation. I want to go back to school, or start a business, or run for office, or, or, or...well, I'm not sure what I want to do but I feel very energized about finding it. Stay tuned for more exciting developments in this regard.

This is great news. Follow your inner voice, Bets. There's nothing you can't do. Take risks. Jump right in. From one who hardly ever risked a thing -- be bold.

I love the "starting your own business" idea. Something I've always wanted to do too.
