I understand how the glamore can wear off. Friends who travel alot have said the same thing, though they travel mostly in the states.
I think all things we think are glamourous, for a time, can wear thin. I was in the fashion industry for several years and trust me it is not all those think it’s cracked up to be. Wears thin really fast. So I left it. But I did get to meet some interesting people along the way.
.. Later I found politics was much more exciting because you could make a difference...(or so I thought)..and did do just that on a local level more than national.
Had to learn quickly, even at that level, who the players were and who was who behind the scene. Once that’s learned you know who you’re up against and can make a difference.
Oh yeah, warm fire, good book and soup! Doesn’t get much better than that!
Politics is exciting, and one person can make a difference. I worked for Dick Cheney when we lived in Wyoming. I campaigned my hiney off for him.....and have never regretted it. He was awesome then and still is. Since we moved to So. Dakota, I’ve worked hard to dump Daschle (sucessfully) and am on Thune’s local team now. He is great and I really think he will go far. My money and time all go to local/state issues and candidates. Grassroot efforts trickle up.
