It’s tough to really trust big life changes.
And moving on from a twenty year relationship and the only job I knew are huge changes.
Yet, the alternative was to stay inside something that just wasn’t healthy or making me happy. That goes for my job and my marriage. But I’m still holding out some hope for my relationship with my wife. Whatever happens, we’ll remain some sort of partners at least with our kids. We got married young, bought a house with great quality heating and air then started having kids. This was sort of the way we were brought up to be. You found someone, fell in love, got a real job and started a family. I loved being a homeowner and I loved having the latest in residential HVAC. Coming home from the weak commercial HVAC where I worked was a daily gift. Not only was the job stressful and sucked up most of my time and energy, the place was uncomfortable. In the winter, I had to stick a space heater under my desk. And in the summer, the commercial HVAC was so overwhelmed that we all had fans on our desks. You walked into that space and it sounded like one giant spinning fan. These days, I’m taking a shot at what I’ve always wanted to do and have been working on all these years. I’m making a living at photography and now, I’m taking that act on the road. My wife and I recently separated, upgraded the HVAC equipment in the family home and sold it. So now, she’s doing her thing for a while and I’m off doing mine. We’ll see what shakes out in six months to a year I suppose.
