Re-purposed

I might be going out on a limb here, but what with losing my job in sales, not finding another job, and a new baby on the way, God may have shut a door on me. I know he's going to open a window or something, but right now I'm stuck in a dark hallway and it's scary.

Like a lot of people in this economy who found themselves suddenly sidelined from the rat-race, I'm working on moving in a different direction career-wise. Maybe. Or maybe I'm just out on injured reserve, and I'll be back in the sales game early next year.

That's what's making this so hard right now because nothing is clear to me about my next move, except the restrictions that life and responsibilities place upon my next move. I know I want to be home every night with my children, that I can't travel for work like I've always done. I know I have to work, but I don't know what I want to do.

There's so much talk about recycling and using old items in new ways, it seems like the concept of re-purposing applies to my life too. Maybe Real Simple will do an article on Aha! uses for 30-year-old laid-off, knocked-up mothers...
