Maybe it was the fact it was my 40th birthday. (You know what they say about “male menopause”. Mrs. MZM was just happy it wasn’t a sports car or climbing Mt. Everest.) But, I do remember what helped me decide it was time to change! [...] [...] To be honest, I’m not sure what prompted me to pick that particular moment to tell her.

He is an engineer and didn't change careers ... but he changed companies/locations. He worked in Ohio for a few years after college. And he decided, "you can take the boy out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the boy." He had enough of those winters, too - and he was working inside. :-) So he found a job back home in San Antonio and stayed here. Robert,

Easy roads are so tempting, though, without the motivation to go the other way. Nic, you hit it on the head: people tend to HATE change, even when the payoff is absolutely incredible! Thanks for the kind words, and I look forward to a long and beautiful friendship! Markk, you’re right - they DO tend to hand around a while before “coming to a head”, so to speak.

Maybe then I would have gotten out of there sooner. We often seem to know when something isn't right for us anymore, but we deny it because change is such a pain. It often seems to take a big push to get us to move. This was a really nicely written post. I enjoyed the read and I will be posting one of my own today. Consider me inspired.

But the actual decision begins long before. And then one day, BANG! Decision made. I do like easy roads, though ...
