Changes in my life

This is my first day to blog. Here I am at my computer wondering what to say. It seems so meaningless since most people feel the same way, but here goes.

I am a Masters level School Psychologist. I have worked all over the world and tried to get my doctorate. Woe is me. Working overseas is not conducive to completing a dissertation.

In 2004, I gave up, not by choice, but because I had spent ten years with nothing but all course work completed to show for my effort. What more could they want? I had lived in Australia, Japan and England. I was told to start over. At 54 years of age, at the time, I didn't have the energy to continue. I decided to retire. My life was not going to make the big impact I had dreamed of since I was a small child.

I twittered, no not on Twitter, my days with computer games and accomplished little. I started several books and completed none.

I made a change this year. I received my license in real estate. Though I am still currently licensed as a School Psychologist, I am changing careers at my current age of nearly 58. In addition, I plan to complete some of the dreams and goals I have previously set for myself.
Such goals are to improve my skills with piano and photography. Work on my writing. And be the best realtor I can be.

Watch out. Here I come. I welcome any suggestions or constructive criticism along the way. Tweet with me and give me encouragement if you will.
