Couple of Crumbs

Going Through the Motions

By: Red Velvet

I’m about to admit something kind of embarrassing.  

A couple weeks ago I sat outside on a bench and cried like a baby for about 20 minutes during my lunch break (while texting one of my friends).  You could say I was having a bit of a meltdown.  

I wasn’t planning on writing about it but a few days ago I told Funfetti she should turn to writing as a form of de-stressing and I’ve decided to take my own advice.  Lately, I haven’t had the motivation to blog.  But I keep thinking about it. While I was baking cookies last Friday night, on the bus, when I’m tossing and turning unable to sleep.  I know there are things I want to say but I’ve been having trouble finding the words and lacking the energy to even really try to find them.  
 
Is it possible for a job to just suck the creativity out of you? Because I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening here.

Throwback Thursday: Ch-Ch-Changes

Red Velvet needs a little positivity in her life after some extremely demanding work days lately. Hence her choice of Ch-Ch-Changes…

I guess I’ve been thinking… what are you left with after 42 years of working? Hopefully some good friends and life lessons. I wonder if I will ever feel fulfilled by a profession or a job in general. Certainly, I can’t imagine spending thirty years in the same place. But I hope to God that someday (soon?) I will want to.

Here’s hoping re-reading it (or discovering it for the first time) leaves you feeling a little more hopeful!

P.S. Did you enter our giveaway yet? :)
