Travel

My beloved and I are going to embark on a week-long trip next week. We're going to visit my folks in Florida and I couldn't be more excited. While he and I take the occasional trip (usually for work) it's been quite some time that we've taken an extended holiday.

We'll be staying with my family just outside of West Palm Beach. This is exciting because my sister, her husband, and their daughter are there as well. And my sister is expecting again.

Right now we don't have much planned, save for the meals we've been thinking about for weeks. We will take a brief excursion (just the two of us) up to a town called Melbourne. After checking the town's website, it doesn't look as though they have much to offer to us. But no biggie, we're really just going for a few hours of peace.

Lately work hasn't been as fulfilling as it should be. I'm really burned out. Maybe it's because it's been so long because I've taken a vacation. Or maybe it's because I so badly want to do my part to "save" the world.

Whenever I take the Myers-Briggs personality test, I get ENFJ. I used to get really annoyed when I'd read the suggested careers because I thought they were all beneath me. But I'm realized now that there's nothing that's truly beneath me except a job or career I do not enjoy.

Which is part of the reason I've been taking ASL classes as of late. A lot of it for personal enrichment, but also as a possible career move. And what would fit better into the "social work" category than interpreting? What's more social than language? (I'm looking at the term "social work" outside of the context of being a licensed social worker. That's not a career or field I'd be interested in.).

So we'll see where all this goes. The trip we're taking will give me more than enough time to stew and mull over my own thoughts, but also a wonderful opportunity to pick everyone's brains.

And spending time with them will be great too! Don't get me wrong. My niece is amazing and I can't wait to have her all to myself!
