March On

It's easy sometimes to just continue doing as we already are. We become comfortable with our lives as we know them and fail to see we must continue to move forward. Complacence is the enemy of passion. We have to continually put one foot in front of the other. This may sometimes be in spite of the fact that we like our current mode of living.
I recently left my former group home. That brought with it new possibilities and experiences. I gained new perspective in taking on this challenge. I now feel I'm well adjusted to my living circumstances. It is time for me to look for new opportunities. I must march on.
I would like to work as a peer specialist. I have already volunteered as a peer specialist facilitating fitness groups. I have also applied to receive funding for a writing group. This would as well be volunteer work. I would like to one day work full time as a peer specialist on a paid basis.
The idea of having a full time position is bitter sweet. It would be great to have a good job. I will however, miss being able to remain focused on writing. Publishing this blog has been a wonderful experience that I will always treasure. I think that I would one day return to writing and have even greater stories and lessons to share from having taken on the new challenges I face today.
