piploverFirst, I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the hugs and good thoughts the past week. They really mean a lot! My dad is doing better. He's still in ICU, but he's stable, and hopefully will be moving to an actual room soon. Hopefully, he'll continue to get better and will be out before too long.
On to a totally different subject.
I'm looking into becoming a genealogist, as I mentioned a few posts back. The more I learn about it, the more excited I become. Also, the more terrified. I know it's not going to be an easy road, and there is a lot of work ahead of me. But I think that this is a career I can see myself doing for the next 20 or 30 years. I've never felt that way about any job path before.
I'm going to head up to the university on Monday to talk to a councilor about business classes and any other classes I may need, because I think once I get my certification, I'm going to say to hell with it and start my own business.
Just looking at that sentence has me scared to death, lol.
But I've been doing research and looking into this to find out the best actions to take, and a lot of the sources agree that starting your own business is the best way to go.
I may not succeed in this. It may all be a pipe dream and I'll crash and burn spectacularly. But on the other hand, I may be even more successful than I could ever dream possible! And you know what? I don't want to look back on my life and say, "Well, I could have done this, but I was too scared to try."
In other words, this is me, thinking, "Wow, shit just got real!"
