The Work is just beginning - Making it all count
So, today I realised the hard work has really begun. My feelings are a mixture of excitement and fear. Fear of the unknown and some self-doubt but deep down I have this feeling of peace and calm which I have never felt before in all my years of venturing into the unknown.
Excitement, as I think of all the possibilities and what I could achieve.
As I look back at my life, I have spent nearly half of my life in school, from primary school to university (17 years all together) then an additional 2 years doing a postgraduate course. Despite all these years of education, I find myself with 16 years of work experience yet very unhappy, stressed not to mention unfulfilled in a job which I fell out of love with many years ago.
Holding down a job with two young children and trying to get through my WA training is quite a challenge but I have over the past week figured out that it is still very much possible.
Armed with my mobile phone and earphones, my one and half hour commute (one way) to work has become the WA journey. I am lost in my own world going through my training and reading messages and posts from my WA family. I look at all the people around me wondering how many of them are in a similar position. Day in and day out of doing the 9-5 for pay that is barely meeting my family's needs.
At home, once all is quiet and the children have gone to bed, my laptop keeps me company for at least 2 good hours.
Time is so precious and I realised I have to make the most of it now more than ever. My life depends on it.
So here is to making it count...

Great way to use travel time... making use of the pockets of time throughout the day helps us “recover” otherwise wasted time.
Wow.. I don't know how you do it. One and a half hours on a train would kill me. But what a fantastic use of otherwise wasted time. Jim
I feel with you in a sense. I to have plenty of education and have had my dream job, got married, stayed home raising the kids, and then started working again. As I started getting older I felt there was something missing and that the 9 - 5 job was no longer fulfilling and I became bored and couldn't wait to get home. I started my own business and was self employed and now after
retiring from being self employed for 25 yrs I finally feel a sense of freedom. I am new to WA and was really scared to start my own online website since I have never done anything like this before. I am finding it to still be a little scary but with all of the support and information I decided to dive in and see where it goes. You are not alone and you will make it as long as you stick to it. You will have some hard times and good times but once you get your website going you will succeed because you have all of the support and answers you will need right here. So hang in there and keep your head up. Success is waiting for you!!
Thank you. It is quite a challenge and at the end of the day all I want is to have some sleep but it seems that is the only time I have to really focus . Good to have some encouragement. Welcome to WA and wishing the best of success.

A good realisation, Emily, and it is good for you.
All the best to you and as said by you, "here is to making it count...". Oh! All the best to your loved ones too.
