Are You Certain What You Wish Is What You Want?

There's a first time for everything and, in my experience thus far, a reason for everything.

It's been 2 weeks of not-quite misery; 2 weeks of guilt and questioning; 2 weeks of considering all the angles; 2 weeks of hoping things would work out.

And they did - exactly as I hoped.  For some reason it was hard to trust things would work out, even as they unfolded precisely as I imagined, right before my eyes.

I spent 2 weeks of a full time job at a place that was perfectly okay but doing something I cared nothing about.   I was so happy to just have a job and a full time one at that! I thought I could do anything and put up with almost anything. 

It's been 2 weeks of unexpected self discovery.

Monday I start part-time, but at a place I know I will love, doing work that relates directly to my passions and experience.

Here's to self-discovery!

Rest and Revival

Life cycles.

The things we carry we can lay down.

The waiting becomes action.

The secrets become spoken.

Life moves on.

We must move with it or risk being stuck, sitting ducks for complacency and bitterness over choices not made or roads not taken.

So move we did, while other things rested and laid in wait, patient but also quietly nagging the heart.

Now the season settles with us into a denouement; the ripples from motions set in place months ago fade out.

Time to revive that which rested, toss a new pebble or two, break the tension of life's possibility anew.
