That if something happened to prevent from fulling my job duties, my job would be posted/advertised by the end of the week! in otherwords I learned that as an employee I am only valued as long as I am able to complete my job

Wondering if I am one of the few sane people left in this world.

When I found out what the word "epiphany" meant!

Dwelling on the past leads to depression. Dwelling on the future causes anxiety. Peace of mind is found only in the present moment.

Also, 99% of the stuff I spend the vast majority of my brain power on has no significance.

That no one can tell you how to feel…

I have several. My mind is a complex network of useless pancake batter:

Watching Ozarks, I suddenly realized that Jason Bateman's character Marty Byrde has the same initials as his Arrested Development character Michael Bluth! Call the president.

Take the trip.

Both my kids are growing up (DD20 & DS15) so every chance I have to travel with them I am taking.

I realized I was dreading our upcoming May vacation and it was not the vacation itself, fear of travel, illness or the work packing, etc. My epiphany was that I was dreading returning to work from a vacation I had yet to take! Problem solved, I won't be returning to work--decided life was too short to feel dread BEFORE a happy event; I'm retiring!

Good for you!!! You’ll be so happy you’ve made this a priority. The memories are priceless!

I planned an epic, bucket list, last family vacation hurrah trip for the summer my oldest graduated from college in 2019. I figured with him moving away and starting his full time job, it’d be our last family vacation for a while. I had researched, planned, and saved for literally YEARS to take us all to South Africa for a safari (we also did a few days in London in the front end). When I started booking things for our 2 week trip, the flights ended up being almost double what I had researched and budgeted for the summer before. I thought about delaying the trip for a year until I could save up the extra cash because I do NOT like debt. But in the end, I put the difference on my credit card and paid it off over the next year as quickly as I could. In retrospect, I am so glad I did that!!!! Who knew Covid would come along and shut down the world for a couple of years!

My ex does not feel bad when he lies, because he does not feel it is wrong as long as he gets what he wants. He has no guilt. He has a completely different value system than I do, and so do lots of other people. I used to wonder why they did things they knew were wrong, now I understand that they don't feel the way I would.
