My "real job" is as a senior marketing and communications manager for a Fortune 500 (really Fortune 10) company. Like most, I work too many hours and laugh at the concept "work-life-balance."
I've taken a short break from the corporate job to take care of myself ... which included my first visit to a therapist. Yes, the stress finally did a number on me. My therapist recommended journaling. I knew at that moment, she was the therapist for me.My therapist is Jan, and I usually feel like I'm visiting with my mother. Like my mom, Jan is in her 60s, has three children and has been married for more than 45 years.

What is normal? I look at other people and wonder how they do it, but then I realize they are no better than I am. Does that mean that all of us are messed up or is that actually normal?
Well sis, normal is relative to the person and their lifestyle and surroundings. The "new normal" is something I picked up on a website about grief.
I think this is a great idea! I hope it will be what you need. I'm also excited to read your random thoughts and to keep up on how you are. Happy blogging.........I will check back often.
