Another tricky one for me to answer as for the past couple of years I’ve been looking for a job.

I’ve been knocked back so many times it’s hard sometimes to get back up. But I have each time and tried to learn and be better.

My life is busy, I look after 5 people 2 persistent cats and a needy dog.

I have always taken that job as a mother very seriously and looked after my family well, perhaps too well as there is always an expectation there and like so many in my situation I’m frequently taken for granted.

My life before was quite dynamic, exciting but not wanted to look back with rose tinted glasses stressful at times.

I miss that though so much, I miss the comradely of being in a team.

Sharing, friendship being part of something.

I was good at what I did.

Dare I say successful and even a tiny bit important.

People listened and valued my opinion as a stay at home mum you do feel invisible.

I have started in the last year to work as a tour guide. Although very different from what I wanted to do I love it.

Learning about the history of my adopted home, meeting new people, finding out about their lives walking around.

I love it.

So such is the dilemma.

Do I forget this dream of resuming my corporate life?

In lots of ways I wish I could exorcise this demon and just be happy with the tours but we shall see.

All I know is that I no longer want to feel invisible.

Thank you 🙏
