Resignation, What next?

Quit good job with good pay and good people, check.  Now what? Truthfully, I only have ideas at this point.  Let me just share why I appear to have lost my mind.

For those of you who commute an hour each way each day and still have the energy to be a good spouse and parent, you are doing better than I.  Please share your secrets.  After nearly two years of driving the 81 corridor I have stacked up quite a pile of husband and father failures - but I have an amazing work ethic!

This note is really a reminder for me.  Alone with my thoughts, immediately they tend towards ideating on how to replace this provision for my family.  Artificial urgency is quickly becoming a lure cast out into this void by my work ethic rod.  If I successfully close this financial gap without restoring my marriage and family to health, it should be considered a failure.

My focus needs to start with discovering and establishing good habits as spiritual leader, husband, and father.  I will need to be mindful to weigh my natural drive to provide against the primary goal to strengthen my weaknesses.  If I fail to succeed in business and return to the job market with a maintainable strong marriage and healthy family centered on God this most certainly was a success!
