Life seems a little less adventurous right now, so I'm purposely planning on being super adventurous next year when my contract is up. I love my job, but a full time office job just isn't all the exciting. I may just end up being one of those people living off a part-time job because it's far more flexible. I used to think it was irresponsibility. Now I realize it may be due to an adventurous spirit. Or maybe I'll just become a hermit and write all day, every day... I find the sameness wearing too.

You seem to be one step ahead of me. At present, I am neck deep in college papers (but I am a DE student, thus eliminating the beauty of campus and social atmospheres) and I often wonder if I will one day look back upon this stage of my life and wish to return to it. (right now I doubt it...) ;) Either way, I can agree with this "narrowing" effect. Sometimes I often reflect back to what my life was like before college and work ... *deep sigh* But the greatest blessing I have seen through new and difficult seasons in the maturing that comes to my faith. I am finding it more necessary to apply what I know about God and myself. (if that makes sense?) So all that to say I appreciate your honesty. :) I enjoy reading your descriptions of seasons I have yet to enter into. You seem to be one step ahead of me.

I just went from housewife and an impeccable house for a full time job and a disaster to come home to. It sometimes is hard to remember what blessing your burden might actually be. Good luck to you I completley agree with you. I just went from housewife and an impeccable house for a full time job and a disaster to come home to.

As someone who is still in that schoolwork stage, I can affirm your statement that it is no walk in the park either! :-) Yes indeed, remind yourself of the beauty of tests, homework, studying, pressure…..
