New Life

As I sit here at my job I realize how much I want a new life. I've been in manufacturing my entire life. I started working for my father when I was 18. I bought his business when he retired in 1990. I was 28 years old. I sold my business 10 years later and worked for the man that bought my business for another 6 years. I now work for one of my competitors where I am making an honest living. Though I am grateful for the life I built since I started in manufacturing, I am burnt out. I need something new. I grow tired of going to work every day and not feeling very important at what I do. I've been married for 28 years and have raised 2 wonderful children and I wouldn't change that for the world and I'm very happy with that part of my life. But I need a change in my working life. I'm 56 years old. That's why Wealthy Affiliate is very important right now. I see a light at the end of the tunnel and I think WA will change my life. It's not easy finding time to devote time to WA but I will do what I can do achieve my goals. One step at a time. I just needed to share this because I know WA community understanding and many members are going through the same rut as me. And I also wanted to say thank you to everybody and their inspiring comments and help. Here's to everyone's success on Wealthy Affiliate.
