It sounds like my life. A few years ago I started to feel like you. But I got a few more hobbies and got over it. I just had my stupid yearly review at work. What are my professional goals this year? None. I’m 46. I worked my ass off in my 30s. I’ve been there 16 years. If I wanted to be the boss I would be. If I had any more goals I would have met them by now. I’m a nurse at the top of the pay scale. I have enough seniority to self schedule. I’m union and my overtime pay is ridiculously good. Other than reading a few journals every month I do not think about work at all when I am not there. I own my house, my car and my boat. My daughter is in college and I can afford it. I have 8 chickens and a dog. My husband is nice.
Here’s my goals: paint the living room. Get bees. Make a purple and orange quilt. Finish the laundry.
