Not Waiting

“When’s your first training?” my daughter Blondie asked me. I’d retired a month earlier to focus on writing and discovered working from home wasn’t all I thought it would be.

“I’m doing a weekend on burnout in a month,” I said.

“So why’d you go back to working for someone now?” Brat Boy asked. “I thought you’d stick it out a little longer, plow through the tough times to get to the good.”

“There’s a difference between getting through tough times and being miserable,” I said. “I waited until I was miserable to stop drinking.  Just prolonged the suffering. I wasn’t going to wait until I hated working from home to go back to work.”

Today I won’t wait until I’m miserable to make changes.
