The novel 11/22/63 by Stephen King. If you ever feel nostalgic for life in the 1960s then this story about a time traveler who attempts to prevent the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy in 1963 is the book for you. It paints a vivid picture of life in those days. The novel required so much research to accurately portray the late 1950s and early 1960s King commented on it saying "I've never tried to write anything like this before. It was really strange at first, like breaking in a new pair of shoes." I have read it a couple times.

I don't know but there are lots of things to discover about oneself through sitting and being quiet. Also, seriously, just how important is the shop to you? You may be more ready to quit the rat race than you think.

I carried a pager for over 20 yrs. When I finally retired from medicine I was soooo happy to return it to the squad. From that point forward I contended that my life was all mine. Even tho it sounds selfish, every day I wake and tell myself "It's all about me."

Unless you already know what it is you'd be doing, then take some time to discover how you got where you are and was where you are in your dreams at any time??

I have always worked. Had the beeper, had the cell phone. Retired in 2003 and in less than 3 weeks I was at a loss. Got hired as a contractor doing the same thing, in 2004 and now it is 2025 and I am still working. Never thought of me. Don't know that I want to think of me. I am what I am. Now I am tired and there is no place to rest. If I do, I am afraid that I will not wake up again. Crazy thinking obviously, but it is where I am at. I am really putting it all out there in this post. If you don't understand, don't comment, please. If you do, I welcome your perspective.

You have told us all how to know God, and if we would talk to him he will listen. This is time for you to practice what you tell others. I sincerely hope you get the guidance you need.

Your thoughts are not crazy at all, in fact they are normal. You're just afraid of change. The way you are living now makes you fell safe, secure. This is what you know. Tell me what your passion is; for me it was/is animals. When I quit the squad I still volunteered at the shelter. You have something inside that you either used to care deeply about or still do. Dig down and touch that old feeling. See if it still makes you want it.

You are not a shell of a person. Inside there is something you are afraid of trying for some reason. For clarity, try writing your feelings on a notepad, ramdomly and then read them the next day...and in doing these things and in other ways you will find yourself.
