While reflecting on the past few years I posed a questions to myself and discovered that I had lost the love for my job. I thought to myself why would I bother doing something that I don’t enjoy at my age? Life seems too short and I figure it’s high time I go find myself a new vocation. Of course what logically follows from that is an inquisition as to what new career path I would enjoy following.

My primary question to myself was why I even work at all. People work hard all year long looking forward to when they can wake up to the sound of their cheerful children shaking presents under the red wreath. I know that’s what keeps me going. The world of business is stressful and people work hard with nothing but a paycheck to look forward to.

Next I thought about activities I enjoy. I like fishing! I could be a fisherman? No that doesn’t sound as fun as the fishing I do. Something else I like is helping with my daughters softball team. I suppose I could be a school teacher. That actually would be a good job apart from the drawback of going back to school.

When I think about things realistically I know I’m stuck where I am for now. Retirement is close enough that I really guess I can cope. I suppose I can cope for a few more years anyway. It’s working my way up the corporate ladder that bothers me. That’s it, I’ll just stop playing! I’ll just stop working so hard. Stop bringing work home with me, and stop checking my email before bed. They won’t fire me. Even if he did my severance package would take me well into retirement.

Now I can just sit back and slack, hang a red wreath wreath with the kids, and make some real memories. Well there that alone gives me a year to look forward to. A merry Christmas, and a new years resolution to do less work. That’s one I may actually keep.
