Taking Time to Re-Evaluate

So, I haven't written in a month...my bad...  I honestly didn't realize what an impact my last post would have on me.  I mean, I sat down and just wrote everything that came to mind when I thought about what I stand for and what I thought should be on my "dammit list."  And apparently, just putting it to paper (metaphorically speaking...) has forced me to re-evaluate my life and its direction.  So, in the past month I've thought a lot and I've decided that, for the time being, I'm going to have to work for myself and focus on my freelance work.  And I'm ok with that.  So I put in my two-weeks notice at the restaurant (and my last day will be Wednesday!  Yay!) and I've picked up some freelance stuff on the side.  Don't get me wrong -- I know I need a regular paycheck to pay my bills.  I'm not just flying off half-cocked and hoping for the best...I'm keeping one my retail job that allows me more flexibility to do my freelance but still pays my bills.  Now, I know it's gonna be hard to go out on my own and make it work, but I'm up for the challenge.  'Cause let's face it, everything in life that is worth anything is going to be hard; that's what makes it so rewarding!  So, on that note, I'm off to work on my freelance.  I'm hoping to write more often now that I've sort of redirected my life...
