Embarrassed is an understatement. It has been close to two years since my last post. Could I have truly been so busy with all the importance of my life to put this on the back burner? Well, yes.... I guess I did. I did.
So much has happened since the last post. "So", being a relative term. The flashback of changes that have occurred and the comparison of the person I am now to the person I was nearly two years ago leaves even more questions.
Since November, 2012 I have:
1.) Changed departments where I work
2.) Enjoyed a promotion in the new position
3.) Experienced the interview process for management at my company
4.) Learned the lesson of grace despite adversity
5.) Finally figured out that it isn't all about me
6.) Became my granddaughter's primary caregiver
7.) Spent more time with my husband than I had in the past few years
8.) Competed and judged in my first CrossFit competition
9.) Worked more than I ever had in my life up to this point
10.) Lost people I love and admire through death, geography or circumstance
And those are just a few.
So, when do you cross that bridge to stop doing something you enjoy doing because time is shorter and shorter? Well, for me it was when the pressure increased. Pressure to learn something new and know it well. Pressure, although, it is also joy, to give a little girl a childhood she deserves... no matter what. Pressure to be there for the people who depend on me to be there, whether they know they do or not. Whatever the reason.... I didn't post.
Well, that changes today! After all, this is therapy for me and if someone happens to read it and like it... well, that's gravy on top.
The questions I have about myself may or may not be answered in this blog. But there is value in the journey that inspires me to write. I hope you enjoy my journey, too.
SHE'S BACK!!!
