Bliss...

It has been slow at work that last few days.  Painfully slow at times.  But, because of my lack of appointments, I have been able to get a lot of my online acupuncture course done.  So far, I have found it very interesting.   I have to admit, it still seems like a huge hurdle for me to jump.  I am not used to being back in "school"...  The whole concept of Chinese medicine is difficult for me to understand--- it requires a whole new way of thinking...  What I like about the course so far is that the instructors include scientific research that backs these ideas.. such as why placing a needle in a certain point will relieve pain in other parts of the body, etc.  The physiology is explained... in Western terms.  I like that.  Although, it brings back memories of vet school... yikes!  Anyway, I think I will really get something out of this course in the long run... at the very least I will get some knowledge, but I am hoping to get a skill that I can use regularly in my own practice  of veterinary medicine--- something that I can take with me and use to build my own practice. 

That reminds me...  my own practice-- not just a mobile practice, but an actual hospital.... That is what I am thinking about these days.  But when and where?  Oh yeah, and How?   These are the questions that weigh on my mind.   Mainly the where.  I know where I want to be in the long run--- at least I have a general idea... or fantasy...  But how to get myself to that place... That is the question.  I have a vision of it in my head.  A mental picture.  I suppose that is the first step.  Then there are the details... the steps that need to be taken to get from here to there.  The map that has to be worked out.  The plan that has to be made.  Right now I seem to be just caught up in the dreaming phase, but soon it will be time to start the planning stage.  Very soon.  I'm not getting any younger.  So that is what I'm gonna do.  I am going to start by brainstorming... the listing... then outlining the steps... then checking off the steps.... until I have reached my goal... my bliss.  I'm not just talking about career goals, of course.  I'm talking about life goals--- lifestyle goals...  I am ready for change.  Time to start taking the steps... no matter how small they may be at first.
