These fits a...Thanks for the shoutout Ruthibelle. <br /><br />These fits and starts were a part of my life for a long time, and as you said, I have 'started over' on each occasion because of the desire to have something 'solid' to look back on. And also because I love to get things right the first time, and it irritates me when I have to draw a line through my work. In school, I'd just tear out and throw away the page. I've made my peace with it though, and have buried the regret of not having those old blogs around to map my growth (I never did figure out how to import them into the new platforms. Sigh.) The main difference now is that I started this new one with a purpose in mind. I'm not just using it as my catchall online diary, as I did in the past. I don't even journal all that regularly, anyway. <br /><br />At this phase in my life, I'm just running with the vision I've been given, and as I said, carving out my own space to give value to my writing for myself, and anyone who chooses to read my words. <br /><br />And regarding your point about what bravery it takes to stay in a less than satisfactory situation, I read a blog post some time ago where the writer raised similar questions in regards to the whole 'leap and the net will appear' philosophy that entrepreneurs and life coaches seem to be touting nowadays. There's nothing wrong with a 9-5 if it makes you happy, or pays your bills, sends your kids to school, etc. I will almost certainly get another 9-5 down the road, but fear has nothing to do with my decision either way. I jumped ship because my time was up. I was just done. There was nothing more for me to do and no other road there for me to take, so I grabbed my 'lass and started to chop out my own little 'pass.' It was what I needed, and I'm thankful that I was brave enough to take that step. When you come to the point where you feel that same way, you'll take the step. Don't overthink it. Just pray and go. The 'go' is faith.Traceyhttp://writtenbytracey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199219112825484518.post-29441984068409927812016-07-12T14:11:12.890-07:002016-07-12T14:11:12.890-07:00I think you mighy be right.I think you mighy be right.blogger on icedaniel.sehttp://www.icedaniel.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199219112825484518.post-59101842267158523382016-07-10T17:29:11.592-07:002016-07-10T17:29:11.592-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stephen A.
