Stalls and Flaws
Does anyone else feel stalled? I hate to keep leaning on cars for metaphors, but automobiles have been at the forefront of my thoughts lately. Let me clarify: by stalled I mean in a state where you feel like you’re not moving forward in an aspect (or aspects) of your life. I feel like my career, or what semblance there is of one, is like the Route 30 by-pass, or 202 at about 8:00AM on a Monday morning. It’s one slow monotonous grind. The car issues are creeping along at about the same pace (see the Albatross stories).
Anyone who knows me knows that patience is not one of my virtues. I’m very decisive, and even manage to embrace a lot of change. Not to mention, that my mind is usually racing several steps ahead. In other words, I can get bored pretty fast and don’t respond well to intrusive, or overbearing authority. These are interesting traits to have. They can either be terrible flaws, or unbelievable assets. Oh, the dichotomy of life.
Well, enough of my personal grumbling. I’ll try to be a bit more optimistic in my next post! Even so, I am interested in hearing about the reader’s stalls and flaws…let’s call it group therapy!

I believe most everyone has experienced a stall in his or her life; it’s how you handle it that counts. Temptations are put in front of us and we believe them to be the best option for us. We really want it, whether it is a new job, a new love in our life, or a new car. I believe that if we are patient, what is the best for us does come to be.
How many women did you date before you found your soul mate? In high school I felt that I would never find a date, let alone a spouse. Then one day I took a ride with my cousin to see her boyfriend and in the midst of a touch football game, I found him. Was it worth the wait and high school blues? You tell me. We’ve been married now for over 30 years. Although my career choice was the same throughout my life (not counting my career as a mother), it wasn’t until five years ago that I settled into the best job for me.
Sometimes you just have to wait and be patient. It will come. Remember too, that the best career is not necessarily the one that pays the most or comes with a big-league title.
