I am grateful for that little voice. It reminds me not to settle for half a life. Sometimes, I’m envious of others who can settle - for a job that bores them but that they know well as they’ve been in it for years, who are content to only do housework and not strive to fit in time for a hobby as well as housework, who are content with their current level of money, whereas I feel the need to have more, and to be more as a person.

For now, I have so much pulling at me I’ve put my patchwork quilt project on hold. In three months time when a new job is aligned with my skills I will return to quilting again.
