Out of the Box

Back in April and May when I was trying to determine my new direction, I was trying to fit myself into a tight little box - certain job skills, certain salary requirements, certain resume enhancements, etc.
I have found that happiness, elation, and opportunity are plentiful and overwhelming - outside that little box. I took what I thought was a step back to a simpler life with less money, and have instead taken a giant leap forward - above and beyond. I am in my element in the classroom, am finally teaching creative writing which is something I've always wanted to do, and opportunites seem to be camping on my doorstep. So here's to getting rid of the boxes, and daring to be happy.
