This last couple weeks has been a God send.
Last week I received confirmation of employment with a different company. The major bonus which this job is a scheduled work rotation and hopefully consistency in our house. This is huge for me, because I have basically lived on-call for the last 19 years. Our family has followed through on a couple events which were planned, but for the most part we flew by the seat our pants, very seldom being able to commit 100% to anything. This long awaited and I feel deserved opportunity, is one that I have been working towards for a very long time.
So, this week I've been tieing up all the loose ends for my business month end, wrapping up all the outside stuff in preparation for winter, and just overall personal preparation for my new job. A lot has been accomplished in the past 7 days, along with becoming more attached to and committed to my personal needs. Kung fu and family have been a lot more in the forefront, which really has a calming affect on my mental being...such a great place to be!
Something that I have really identified this last while is how my stress has impacts not just on my wife but my oldest son. My son seems to mimic my feelings, which is terrible knowing that he is dealing with virtually the same things as my wife and I. With this major change in my career, I hope that it will be something which will be for the betterment of my entire family....I'm sure it will and in so many awesome ways. I'm so looking forward to the change that this could have on our home and the emotional state of my family.
