Reaction To Isearches

 When I first took a lay off from my very stressfull, sometimes exasperating job, I watched a few episodes of my favorite tv show.  I took a couple shopping trips with my daughter. I did a few long overdue projects around the house that I had been wanting to finish. I just took some ME time.  Then reality hit me right in the face!  What am I going to do now? I'm not a Susie homemaker kind of woman, with the perfectly ironed apron, dinner on the table at five, everyones laundry done and folded and piled neatly in their drawers. I like to shop, but that takes money. I have some carpentry skills, but definitely not enough to do everything needed at the house. So, after a few discussions with my husband, some of them heated.  I decided that I was going to go back to school, which led to more heated discussions.  How are we going to pay for this? You're too old. What are you going to do after? I must have put up a good argument because it didn't take him long to see it my way. I'm quite accustomed to getting things my way. Then the work started, finding funding, picking the school, picking a subject that reflected some of what I already knew but gave me more. All of this brought me to the Isearch. Asking myself questions, coming up with an answer, changing that answer because I wasn't happy with the end result. Asking another question, just to have the answer take me back to the first question. The Isearch,and writing in general, is a good tool to make me think about me, not everybody else in my somewhat small circle of existance. ME! I have been thinking about me since this new adventure began, you just told me the name of it. Isearch
