Decision decision - work versus SAHM

Time flies at the blink of an eye, a year as passed since I embarked and alighted from a fruitful busy year at work. 

I am thankful for the opportunity to be blessed with a job, just weeks within my decision to rejoin the work force. It had been a great one year, working with a great new team of colleagues that are so cheerful, helpful and supportive. I was in the service line, attending to callers' inquiries and feedback. There are of course moments of joy and frustrations, but working with a happy positive team definitely helps one detox any negative vibes at the end of the day of work. 

What gave me a change of mind to return my time to family and home business, was because I needed a short break to recuperate and strengthen my health, as well as more time to nurture the little ones to prepare them for the Primary education. 

There are months of contemplation, and it definitely was not an easy decision. I believe this is a decision that would challenge many mothers at some point in time of their motherhood. There are no right or wrong decisions, and I understand that at every stage of our life, needs and priority changes. Importance of self fulfillment vs family continues to be a nagging decision throughout motherhood. At this point, I questioned myself, "If my day ends tomorrow, what would be the biggest regret unaccomplished?" With that, my decision was clear.  

I hope this question is able to help any mother whom may currently be at a cross junction, wondering which way to head. I would foresee myself heading back to new challenges perhaps in the next quarter, but I am happy for this short break with my husband's blessing and support.

There will be many little projects (Building this blog would be one) to keep me occupied and fulfilled, quality time with the family as well as improving my health to toughen myself for the next journey. 

Wish me luck!
