This may come as a surprise to a lot of you but this "old" man is going to begin college courses week after next. I have wanted to do this for a very long time and a couple of weeks ago I made the decision to further my education with a college course at home after being out of school for 44 years. I used to be able to say that I really enjoyed my job a lot but so much has changed in the industry I work in and it is affecting the employees I am with on a daily basis to the point that my stress level is way too high. I can only see this situation getting more severe as time rolls by so I want to be prepared to stay productive and to do that I need to shift gears and enter a different area all together.
All three of my daughters are either in the health field or training to be there. Just try to get a doctors appointment and they are usually booked ahead weeks or in some cases months so I decided to concentrate on the area concerning medical records and information technology that is becoming a desperately needed field to keep offices operating efficiently.
I know it will be a change for me but I am ready and I also know that certain aspects of my life will have to change in order to do my best. One area, sadly, will be blogging. I don't intend to stop blogging but once my books arrive and I start my study habits I will not have the hours a day I usually spend checking and posting blogs. So my friends, this does not mean I am disappearing but my daily comments may be less frequent but I will do all I can to stay in touch.
Being 64 doesn't bother me as I have extremely good health and have no plans for retirement any time soon.I am looking forward to this new adventure and will keep you posted on my progress.
