I’ve said this before, I need to get motivated to blog more often. I think I have a reason this time … the American Pain Foundation (APF). For months, I’ve researched their site, talked to several people and found I like what they believe in. Plus, I still have to find my next chapter in life. I have a friend who gets satisfaction from helping individual people. Not me. I continue to find that I am still a corporate nerd. I like the idea of working in a big organization and helping to make change. I’m a small cog in the bigger wheel, but I’m not the entire wheel. I worked for General Motors and Saturn Corporations for more than 20 years. I enjoyed that environment. Most people say they don’t like that world. Too many rules. Too many boundaries. Too many personalities. Too many unmotivated, unprofessional people you have to work with. I agree. That’s the challenge. I like rules – so I can bend them. I like to know the boundaries – so I can push them. So, here is the American Pain Foundation.
Not that they have too many rules or unmotivated, unprofessional people. But, they are an established organization … with a mission that I believe in. I think I have found my next chapter – volunteer work with the APF. My schedule. My limitations. Maybe, I can make a difference for people with pain.
So, it’s time to start blogging again and continue to tell my story.
