MOODY BLUES
A couple of years of blogging, a few posts some good and some not so good - where am I today? Still trying to find out WHO, WHAT AND WHERE I am.
I am, wife, mom, an avid(addicted?) reader, an enthusiastic gardener, a moody cook and homemaker, a sporodic needlewoman, an even more sporodic seamtress, a good friend, a dedicated teacher I was even a good content writer - My loved ones delight in telling people that I am "A JACK OF ALL TRADES AND MASTER OF NONE" - I drive my own car, fix my own lightblubs, cement, varnish, solder, wind the fuse wire and know my way around the hammer, spanners and screwdrivers. So why the sudden blues?
While I loved teaching in a school, I did not like the rest of the baggage that comes with working in an institution - the internal politics. I loved writing but I did not like working for someone who did not know anything about the topics I was writing about and could not appreciate the amount of time and effort that went into it - so here I am exactly where I started - Jack of all trades master of none - and I am fed up of well-meaning people telling me I am wasting my talents.
Looks like I am in desperate need of mental spring-cleaning...

I can't tell you how much I relate to your post! I too am a Jack of all trades/Master of none, and searching to find how to make use of this fluff and stuff inside my head. A steady and linear career seems to have eluded me...and I know I had a lot to do with that! My DH says it's because I'm good at too many things....that's a sweet and gracious notion that I'm prepared to console myself with at the moment!
You have no idea how lucky you are ... do count your blessings - you are a wonderfully talented person and its a real shame that you have let yourself feel low ! Go on and get out there and give some of your lesser talented brethren a hand. Join an NGO, start hobby classes for kids, the list is endless....
