I sit here today feeling like a much lighter woman. No, I have not lost a whole lot of weight. This morning I signed all the papers to finalize the sale of my CPA practice. Coincidentally, the movers showed up right as we were finishing up the signing and they took the last of my “office furniture” including my very large executive desk. It is very strange, I honestly felt like I would be a little more sad to see it all go. However, I think jubilation is a much better word.
Let me go back a little ways and explain something. I have been contemplating this decision for the last two years. It was July of 2009 that I very seriously thought about selling my practice, but it just did not feel right. I woke up in September in the middle of the night in a panic, realizing I was not listening to my heart. Even though, the thought of doing it for one more year, let alone two almost killed me mentally, I knew the best thing in the world was to follow my heart. And I did. Thank goodness!
I am one of those “lucky” people that can suffer from a severe bout of insomnia now and again. Now, I don’t know about you, but, I have done everything in my power to follow all the sleep rules. Comfy bed, dim lights, no television while in bed, etc. And anyone who has ever suffered from insomnia will tell you absolutely none of that does a thing if your brain does not feel like shutting down at that time. As I am writing this, it is just after midnight. I went to bed hours ago and cannot seem to shut down enough to sleep.
I know that may seem like a silly question, however, I remember a time when I was living like a robot. I would get up every morning, take my shower, drive to work, work all day, drive home, blah, blah, blah. Not so coincidentally, I would also get the Sunday night dreads at that time. Do you know what those are? You know, when Sunday evening rolls around you get that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach. You almost cannot bear the thought of working another week where you are at.
