Thanks, Wendy and Tracy, for your beautiful thoughts on Quitting vs. Letting Go.
One of the specific aspects in my life that had taken up some space in the Quitting vs. Letting Go dilemma in my head was my job. Our company has been struggling for some time and, whether fortunately or unfortunately, it's now time for something new.
I hate job-hunting. I equate it to all the awful parts of dating: Did I say the right thing? Did I wear the right thing? Am I supposed to call them? Are they going to call me?
But I've been blessed to have this opportunity that I've had for nearly three years and it's great experience to throw on the resume. So if you hear of anything in marketing and/or sales, please let me know. Hey, like in dating, I'll take all the help I can get!

Ohhh, job hunting. No fun at all. Or maybe it will be. You might have all sorts of possibilities arise. If I hear of anything I will let you know. Good luck.
I am very confident in you especially when you have all this experience. Hopefully it won't be as bad as looking for that 1st real job after graduation. Boo to that. If you're feeling rusty, try to go on 1-2 job interviews you don't care too much for to get back in shape. But really with all the initiative and presentations and networking you took on, you'll be great!
Funny that you compare it to dating when earlier today you mentioned how "particular" you are about who you may work for. At least if you have to settle on a position to make ends meet temporarily, it's not as bad as settling for a guy when you know you can do better.
Crazy, isn't it, how much dating and job-hunting parallel? They really are too similar for comfort's sake sometimes.
Well, friend, as you embark on this new adventure, I hope that opportunities will come into your path - and that in the meantime, you'll be able to enjoy some "funemployment." Who knows? This next bend in the road could be just perfectly what you need - trite, I know, but it's true. The last two years have been so drastically different from anything I'd wanted or planned for myself, but they've been perfect,. Here's hoping the same comes together for you - and in the meantime, I'll mine my network and see if anyone has leads for you.
PS: To Wendy's comment, "At least if you have to settle on a position to make ends meet temporarily, it's not as bad as settling for a guy when you know you can do better." - AMEN!!! There is a benefit of hunting for the RIGHT job while working at a good enough one for a while. Or perhaps you can find some consulting work to keep an income coming so you can take the time to find something perfect?
