I feel like I need to look inside of me and what I present to others as who I am,to keep being true to me and growing as a member of society and as a human being.
I like having a goal to work towards as well...I always ask a potential asst mgr during thier interview these two questions.....what are your short term goals in life and your long term. If you have no answer it says alot to me.

Jelli do you find that you are reflecting on life right now? I am wondering if its not just that your baby went away to college that can be rough you know

I do a lot of self examination in general, but there's definitely been a change with my kids growing up and out. Bittersweet.

BTW I think many potential employers set people up with those questions. I say this because once upon a time I was a manager too. In the industry of companies that require asst. mgrs(especially fast food and convenience stores) it's not like they do much, if anything, to assist an employee in reaching any goals. Many of them are looking for a body to fill a space for as long and as effectively as possible. *shrugs*
