In October, I mentioned that I had changed jobs and at the time I was more than a little apprehensive about this change. I'm not one to welcome change, especially when it involves leaving a stable and steady job that I had enjoyed for a little over four years.

As with all change, it was the unknown which brought about the apprehension. That unknown has been slowly replaced by things which both challenge and excite me. I make it a point to tell my former co-workers that they really should follow me to my new employer as it is by far the best place that I've worked.

One might say that having goals is a good thing. But what does one do when life is such a fluid journey down a road that changes often and leads to unexpected adventures?

One gets over it and keeps on moving so as not to hold up traffic.

Ten years ago my only goal was to be sitting in front of a computer making lots of money. One month ago my only goal was to be challenged even if it meant less money. Goals mean nothing if they can never be reached. Money isn't everything, happiness is. I'm happy. Hell, I'm ecstatic.
