I can't imagine. Maybe that's why God has blessed me to not ever have truly had one to begin with. Don't get me wrong, I've worked. I went to school, got a BA degree in Creative Writing, went back and got K-6 teaching license. But no permanent job since then. Struggle to make ends meet. I love that you knew what you needed and went for it, no matter how hard it might be. So I say, breathe deep. Laugh a lot. Play the piano. Write all the children's books you can. Sign up for the half-marathon, and cross those monkey bars. P.S. You look so different here from your pic in ning.Christie Wright Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656162315858480593noreply@blogger.com
