In yesterday's Era, there was a job posting for the local University that I've considered applying for.  The pay is more, the responsibility is greater and its with a great employer.  Despite the potential benefits, I struggle with the decision to actually apply.  I'm not unhappy in my current job, in fact, when I really think about it, I love it.   I enjoy what I do, I get along with my co-workers (for the most part, LOL), and I enjoy being part of an agency that does A LOT of good for A LOT of people.  Certainly its frustrating at times when things are decided that we disagree with or have difficulty buying into, but that happens everywhere.  As far as money goes, certainly I would like to make more, we all would.  But how much do you really need?   My bills are paid, I have money in my pocket, and all of my needs are met.  Where then do we find the balance between our desire for more and what we already have? 

On another note, I've received a bit of feedback from a few people about how they've been keeping up with my posts.  Great!  Whatever your reason for reading, whether to just keep in touch, or to look for something you can use punitively and criticize, welcome...   Glad to have you along...
