[QUOTE="Suz, post: 488747, member: 29"] I'm sorry that I'm not on the site as often as I used to be to know what your current status is with the kids. From your signature it looks like Wm is still in the group home. What is Kt's status? The last I saw she was still at home- is she still? I ask, only because what you do next will depend a lot on what kind of independence and flexibility you have with your schedule, and most of that is how restrained you are with Kt's and Wm's needs. I have to say that I am positively THRILLED to read how well you are doing physically, Linda. I am very, very proud of you. It must have taken enormous intestinal fortitude to get as far as you have. You so rock! This crossroads is completely understandable if you are starting to feel stronger and have a little more independence. When I was at a similar crossroads I called our local high school and asked if I could go in and take some of their career program tests. Even if it's just for fun, it was interesting to take the tests to see where my *interests* were in respect to a career choice. It wasn't a surprise as much as it was a reinforcement of what I already thought. There are these free career "tests" online, too. Here are some links to give you some ideas: [url=http://www.careerpath.com/career-tests/]Career Tests | CareerPath.com[/url] [url=http://www.careerpath.com/]Free Career Tests, Personality Assessments, Job Advice & Resources | CareerPath.com[/url] [url=http://www.careertest.net/]Career Test Center - Discover your ideal career[/url] Anyway, you get my drift- there are tons of sites out there if you type "career assessment tests" on Google. Another avenue is to call United Way. I did that at another point in my life when I wasn't working for income but did want to do volunteer work. At that time they had a person whose job was to match people's interests with open volunteer opportunities. I was matched with a couple of different programs and had a wonderful time with both of them. I will be watching your progress with interest. I hope this is a wonderful, empowering, turning point for you. Hugs, Suz [/QUOTE]
