It is in...I like your answer to the last question. <BR/><BR/>It is incredibly freeing and yet also a little difficult, when you recognize that what you really need and want is not more money, but more time. Instead of always chasing "more, more," you slow down and enjoy the time you have.<BR/><BR/>The difficult part, for me, was that realization if I could make more per hour, I would work fewer hours and still make enough to get by. In a wierd sort of way, it provided me with more ambition than I might otherwise have had -- my favorite job ever was driving a bus, but I knew I would have to do something that pays much more money per hour than bus driving, so I could work fewer hours and still make the money I'd need to live reasonably happily. <BR/><BR/>So I went to law school. But then, with a job that requires more ambition and pays more money, comes more responsibility and time commitments. I can't just "call in sick" when I have a trial. Sick kids or not, I've got to be there. So then it kind of takes away some of that freedom I was seeking.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to retire!<BR/><BR/>And re: #4, while I love a well-written, carefully crafted blog, some of my very favorite blogs are the ones in which the blogger really opens up and shares something of themselves, regardless of grammar and style. I also love blogs that make me laugh sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I just discovered your blog today, through the Totally Awkward Tuesday list over at Tova Darling's blog, and I am enjoying it a lot.
