Working to live . . . living to work

I've given a lot of thought to this very recently, now that I have re-entered the world of work. Am I working to live? - those pesky bills keep coming on a regular basis, or am I living to work - that passionate drive that gets you up and out the door every morning.

It's too early to say at the moment. I didn't realize that I had neglected to mention to friends that I began work in July with a start up company , and part of my job includes travel across the country. Her email was very short and succinct: what job . . . ? [Sorry, Carol! I promise to get back with you!]

Going from the 'service' industry [education] to the 'corporate' industry [sales] is quite a leap. I find myself trying to merge the two worlds. I'll keep you posted on how that goes!

In the mean time, I look for a way to balance putting my time and energy into both my personal as well as my work life.
