As I wobble out of bed this morning, I am reminded that today is the day I traditionally decorate my home for the Yuletide season. However, this year for the first time in about 12 years, I am "alternatively" employed at this time of year. My project for the last month has been to get my house in order, declutter and cleanse each and every area of my home. So, the thought of taking out all those decorations and "messing up" my clean house will have to be reassessed. There are still a few projects I am working on before I will be ready to make our home merry for the holidays. Thankfully, my lack of traditional employment allows for me to wait a day or two (or three) to haul out the holly.
In the meantime, I have made the very difficult decision to not enroll in the immersion midwifery programme coming up in January, strictly due to finances. I wrestled with this issue, but any opportunity, no matter how good, if offered at the wrong time, is really not an opportunity. In leaving my lucrative position at a major corporation, I committed myself to my family first. And with that, comes a whole mess of little responsibilities and errands and jobs that, were I to dedicate half my waking hours to my education at this time, would not allow me to give the focus and attention I need to give to my family. So in the end, perhaps my life's journey is a bit like my home's journey: I still have a few projects to finish up before I redecorate my mind and my passion with new decor.
May you all have blessed holidays!
